In this article, AZDIGI will help you understand more about the 20 Netstat commands that Linux server administrators commonly use.
I. What is Netstat?
Netstat is short for “network statistics” and is a command-line tool used to monitor network connections both incoming and outgoing, as well as view routing tables, interface statistics, and other network-related information…
Netstat is built into all Unix operating systems and is also available on Windows operating systems. It is very useful for troubleshooting network issues and is often used for performance measurement. Netstat is one of the most basic network troubleshooting tools, showing you which ports are open and whether there are any programs using those ports.
This tool is very important and useful for Linux network administrators as well as system administrators to monitor and troubleshoot network-related issues and determine network traffic performance. This article will show you how to use netstat commands with examples that may be useful in your daily operations.
