HomeOperation and MaintenanceLinux Operation and MaintenanceHow to troubleshoot network failures in Linux

If the company website cannot be opened, if it is due to network problems, how should you troubleshoot it. For another example, if the remote connection tool cannot connect to the server or the mysql database cannot be connected, may it be due to network problems. In daily work or study, we often encounter various network problems (because computer networks are too complex). Now let's take a look at how to troubleshoot if there is a network problem on the Linux server.

ping

First let’s look at the ping command. This command is a tool used to test whether normal communication can occur between two hosts. The object of ping can be either an IP address or a domain name. This command can be used in the cmd mode of Linux and Windows. The usage methods are the same.

# ping -c 4 8.210.247.5
PING 8.210.247.5 (8.210.247.5) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 8.210.247.5: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.54 ms
64 bytes from 8.210.247.5: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.48 ms
64 bytes from 8.210.247.5: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.46 ms
64 bytes from 8.210.247.5: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=1.48 ms

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.460/1.494/1.548/0.042 ms
 
# ping -c 1 baidu.com 
……

Below is a shell script used to check which IPs on the LAN can communicate

#!/bin/bash
net='192.168.2.'
seqs=`seq 1 254`

for seq in $seqs
do
    ip=$net$seq
    /usr/bin/ping -c 1 -W 1 $ip >/dev/null 2>&1
    
    if [ "$?" == "0" ];then
        echo "$ip is UP"
    fi
done

traceroute

This command is used to check the network status of each node between two hosts. If the speed is slow when you access a website, you can use this command to view the network status of all nodes.

# traceroute -n google.com
traceroute to google.com (172.217.163.238), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
 1  * * *
 2  11.109.220.61  1.444 ms  1.577 ms 11.109.216.189  1.500 ms
 3  11.109.220.190  5.512 ms * 11.109.220.174  5.382 ms
 4  11.131.180.222  1.660 ms 11.131.180.218  1.519 ms 11.131.180.250  1.365 ms
 ……

nslookup

This command can reversely check the IP address through the domain name, and it is very simple to use.

nslookup 5iqm.com
Server:  100.100.2.136
Address: 100.100.2.136#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: 5iqm.com
Address: 121.196.12.64

netstat

. If the website cannot be accessed, the first thing we should do is ping the IP address of the server. If it can be pinged normally, then we should ping the website domain name to see if the dns is resolved normally. If there are no problems and the website still cannot be accessed, then you need to check whether port 80 is open to the outside world. The netstat command is used to check the host port listening status.

# netstat -tlunp

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:888             0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      30721/nginx: master

telnet

This command can be used to test whether the specified port of the server is open to itself.

# telnet 8.210.110.139 22
Trying 8.210.110.139...
Connected to 8.210.110.139.   
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.4


# telnet 8.210.110.139 3306
Trying 8.210.110.139...  <=== 一直是这样的状态则

If it is the first situation above, it means that port 22 of 8.210.110.139 is open. If it is the second type and it keeps trying, it means that this port is not open to itself.

Maintenance mode plays a key role in Linux system management, helping to repair, upgrade and configuration changes. 1. Enter maintenance mode. You can select it through the GRUB menu or use the command "sudosystemctlisolaterscue.target". 2. In maintenance mode, you can perform file system repair and system update operations. 3. Advanced usage includes tasks such as resetting the root password. 4. Common errors such as not being able to enter maintenance mode or mount the file system, can be fixed by checking the GRUB configuration and using the fsck command.

File and directory management commands such as ls-l list detailed information, mkdir-p recursively create directories. 2. Permission management commands such as chmod755file set file permissions, chownuserfile changes file owner, and chgrpgroupfile changes file group. These commands are based on file system structure and user and group systems, and operate and control through system calls and metadata.
