$ route add -net address
or
$ ip route add
Add static route

$ route del -net address
or
$ ip route del
Delete static route


Traceroute

Traceroute inspects the route taken by the data packet to reach the destination host. Used for delays and errors network troubleshooting . It can isolate connectivity issues between hops.

$ traceroute <address>


Other networking tools

ethtool
Queries network interfaces and can also set various parameters such as the speed

netstat
Displays all active connections and routing tables; useful for monitoring performance and troubleshooting

nmap
Scans open ports on a network; important for security analysis

tcpdump
Dumps network traffic for analysis

iptraf
