There are a few useful graphical utilities for managing your network on macOS, but for real power, you’ll need to use the Terminal.

Under the hood, macOS runs a variant of Unix, which means you have a vast array of networking tools available. One of the most powerful of these is nmap, which can tell you a lot about your network in combination with a few other commands.
