As previously reviewed, the Mac command line helps unlock the power of the command line, enter basic directory commands, navigate the Mac shell, simplify networking and more.
The Mac Terminal, of course, provides direct access to the underlying OS.

The Mac's Systems Preferences Network applet enables configuring network settings, while the Network Utility (found within Applications\Utilities) provides a graphical interface for troubleshooting network errors.
