"The tools I use to troubleshoot and manage a network are a combination of command-line utilities and commercially available network management suites. The command-line utilities include Ping to check the speed of connections, Tracert, a utility that lists the probable hops to a destination address, Ipconfig which reports the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, subnets, and default gateways, Netstat, which displays active connections, and Nslookup, a tool that gives you DNS server diagnostics. I also prefer commercial network management suites, including SolarWinds Port Scanner, N-able RMM, Paessler Network Troubleshooting, and Wireshark."
