Obtaining Information About Your Network
Obtaining Information About Your Network
You may need to obtain many different kinds of information about your
network and its operations. This information ranges from the version
numbers of the software modules you are running to complete
statistical summaries of events that are taking place on a specific link.
The tools and commands that are available to help you obtain the
various types of information are summarized in Table 1-1. Once you
have determined which command or tool you need to use, you can refer
to the detailed information about that tool in a later chapter of this
manual.
