Major TCP/IP Administrative Tasks (Task Map)

The following table lists other miscellaneous tasks to administer the network after initial configuration, such as displaying network information. The table includes a description of what each task accomplishes and the section in the current documentation where the specific steps to perform the task are detailed.

Task	Description	For Information
Display statistics on a per-protocol basis.	Monitor the performance of the network protocols on a particular system.	How to Display Statistics by Protocol

Control the display output of IPv6-related commands.	Controls the output of the `ping`, `netstat`, and `traceroute` commands. Creates a file that is named `inet_type`. Sets the `DEFAULT_IP` variable in this file.	How to Control the Display Output of IP-Related Commands
Monitor network traffic.	Displays all IP packets by using the `snoop` command.	How to Monitor IPv6 Network Traffic
Trace all routes that are known to the network's routers.	Uses the `traceroute` command to show all routes.	How to Trace All Routes
