A user suspects that their Windows computer is infected with malware causing network issues.
Which command can they use to display active network connections and processes:
nslookup, ping, ipconfig, or netstat? - CORRECT ANSWER-netstat (2.1)
A user is experiencing slow internet speeds and suspects network congestion.
Which command can they use to test the latency and response time to a specific destination?
netstat, tracert, ipconfig, or ping? - CORRECT ANSWER-ping
What is the Windows command-line ipconfig command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This is used to
display the IP configuration, including IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. (2.1)
What is the Windows command-line netstat command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This displays
active network connections, listening ports, and related information, which can help identify
suspicious activity. (2.1)
,What is the Windows command-line ping command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This sends ICMP
echo requests to a specific destination and measures the round-trip time, helping to diagnose
latency issues. (2.1)
What is the Windows command-line nslookup command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This is used to
query DNS servers for domain name resolution, not to display IP configuration. (2.1)
What is the Windows command-line tracert command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This is used to
trace the route taken by packets to reach a destination, not to display IP configuration. (2.1)
A Linux user wants to view the routing table on their system to troubleshoot routing issues.
Which command should they use?
Trace, route, ifconfig, ip, or route? - CORRECT ANSWER-Route (2.2)
A Linux user wants to view detailed information about their network interfaces, including IP
addresses, netmasks, and interface status. Which command should they use?
Trace, route, netstat, ping, or ifconfig? - CORRECT ANSWER-Ifconfig (2.2)
A Linux user is experiencing slow internet speeds and suspects network congestion. Which
command can they use to test network connectivity and measure the round-trip time to a
specific destination?
Traceroute, netstat, ifconfig, or nslookup? - CORRECT ANSWER-Traceroute (2.2)
In Linux, what is the route command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This command is used to display and
manipulate the IP routing table on a Linux system. (2.2)
In Linux, what is the ifconfig (or the newer "ip" ) command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This command
is used to configure and display information about network interfaces, including IP addresses,
netmasks, and interface status. (2.2)
,In Linux, what is the traceroute command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This command is used to trace
the route taken by packets to reach a destination and measure the round-trip time to each hop
along the path. (2.2)
In Linux, what is the ip command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This command is a powerful tool for
network configuration and troubleshooting, but the route command specifically displays the
routing table. (2.2)
In Linux, what is the netstat command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This command displays network
connections and statistics, but it does not provide detailed information about network
interfaces. (2.2)
In Linux, what is the ping command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This command is used to test network
connectivity by sending ICMP echo requests, not to view detailed information about network
interfaces. (2.2)
In Linux, what is the nslookup command? - CORRECT ANSWER-This command is used to query
DNS servers for domain name resolution, not to test network connectivity or measure latency.
(2.2)
The _________ command in Windows provides details about network adapters and their
configurations—similar to the _________ command in Linux. - CORRECT ANSWER-Ipconfig;
Ifconfig (2.)
The ___________ command allows users to query DNS servers to resolve domain names to IP
addresses; this functionality is present in both operating systems. - CORRECT ANSWER-
Nslookup (2.)
In Windows, the __________ command reveals the mapping of IP addresses to physical MAC
addresses, which is crucial for local network communication. - CORRECT ANSWER-Arp -a (2.)
, The ________ command provides network statistics and can display active connections,
listening ports, and associated addresses; this tool is available in both Linux and Windows. -
CORRECT ANSWER-Netstat (2.)
Linux and Windows systems both utilize ICMP for which two tools in order to test network
connectivity and trace network paths? - CORRECT ANSWER-Ping and traceroute (or tracert in
Windows) (2.)
In Windows, what information do you get from the ipconfig/all command? - CORRECT ANSWER-
It shows (1) the Host Name (e.g WIN-M6CGN1MFJLQ), (2) the Primary DNS Suffix which
represents an Active Directory domain that this server is joined to (e.g. quick24x7.local, an Intel
Gigabit Network Connection?), (3) the 48-bit hexadecimal MAC address (sometimes shown a
physical address), (4) the ethernet adapter (e.g. Ethernet0), (5) Description, (6) whether DHCP is
enabled or not, (7) the Subnet Mask, (8) the Default Gateway, (9) the DNS Servers, and (10)
some details about my network adapter. (2.1)
In Windows, when speaking of DNS, we can use the name server or __________ command to
test and query DNS. If you are using this command in a DNS server, you will be pointing to
yourself. - CORRECT ANSWER-Nslookup (2.1)
What does it mean when the DNS Servers are configured as ::1 which is the IPv6 equivalent of a
local loopback, or as an IPv4, in which the local loopback is represented with 127.0.0.1? -
CORRECT ANSWER-This means in this case is that this survey is pointing to itself for DNS name
resolution, which must mean then it is a DNS server. (2.1)
If the address of your DNS server is the localhost with ::1 the IPv6 local loopback address and
you were to type in, let's say, www.skillsoft.com, what we would get returned if DNS is working
properly, is the IP address for that website. We have what's called a ______________. -
CORRECT ANSWER-Non-authoritative answer, meaning that our local DNS server didn't have
that answer. It had to go out and talk to other DNS servers on the Internet. Hence, Non-
authoritative, but it did return the proper IP. (2.1)
