Essential commands are:
ip for network interface and routing config
host/dig/nslookup for DNS querying
tc for traffic control
nft for firewalling
mii-tool for interface tweaking
nmap for LAN discovery
tcpdump to view traffic
ping/ping6/traceroute/traceroute6/mtr for debugging connection issues

there's also ufw (and its gufw) as an alternative to firewalld.
apparmor, if you care.
