In reply to BasketCase. The correct command is the one that solves your problem, netstat or ss.

Hey Silver Moon, Thanks for sharing the basics about Netsat commands. Your post was very easy to understand and I’m sure many will find it useful. Your readers can also take a look at our website (http://www.fireboxtraining.com/linux) for more advanced linux tutorials.

In reply to Sania. ifconfig and route are both also obsolete. The replacement for both is the ip command. ip link and ip addr do what ifconfig did and ip route does what route did. The legacy net-tools are not capable of providing modern functions like having multiple IP addresses on an interface (yes, I know you can make alias interfaces with ifconfig but with ip addr add you don't need to make an extra interface).

In reply to BasketCase. I prefer netstat because of its simplicity

In terms of ss, I still prefer nestat due to its ability to show me routing table as well as network interfaces. Instead of typing route or ifconfig, I simply use netstat. Personal preference I guess.

Netstat (and the other legacy net-tools programs) were replaced in Linux more than 10 years ago. The correct command is now ss. The options are mostly the same but the outputs are different (and more complete).
