netstat

Example: netstat -r This will display the routing table for your computer including: Destination, Gateway, Mask, Flags, and Interface. Options -r display routing table -i display interfaces -s display statistics The first example shows the routing table for a networked computer.

netstat -r

Kernel IP routing table

Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface

192.168.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0

default 192.168.2.222 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0

The next example shows the interfaces.

netstat -i

Kernel Interface table

eth0 1500 0 20034 0 0 0 19150 0 0 0 BMRU

lo 16436 0 320359 0 0 0 320359 0 0 0 LRU

The last example shows statistics that can be handy for troubleshooting.
