is one of the most basic tools for testing connectivity to other hosts. It sends an internet control
message protocol (ICMP) echo request to a host and listens for the reply Correct answer-PING
are used to trace the route an IP packet takes to a destination. It displays each hop (next router) in a
numerical list with the hop's IP address and the time it takes to receive the packet. Correct answer-
Traceroute/tracert
is similar to traceroute or tracert in that it displays the path taken by a packet from its source to its
destination. It is useful because it can be used by any user instead of needing superuser privileges. It
is primarily used in Linux. Correct answer-TRACEPATH
provides the user with the IP, subnet mask, and default gateway for each network adapter by default
with the /all option information, such as MAC address, DHCP status, and lease information.
The command ***/release can be used to release all connections and renew all adapters.
It is primarily used in Windows. Correct answer-IPCONFIG (Internet Protocol Configuration)
is used to configure the kernel network interfaces. It is implemented at the time of booting to
configure the necessary interfaces. Once the interfaces are configured, it is used for debugging or
tuning the system. It is primarily used in Linux. Correct answer-IFCONFIG
displays the IP to physical (MAC) address mappings for hosts that have been discovered in the cache.
Can be used to add, remove, or modify entries. Correct answer-ARP (ADDRESS RESOLUTION
PROTOCOL)
displays information about active ports and their state and can be useful in troubleshooting and
capacity management Correct answer-NETSTAT (NETWORK STATISTICS)
displays information for displaying DNS information and troubleshooting DNS problems. It is useful in
displaying names to IP address mappings. Correct answer-NSLOOKUP
is a command used to query the DNS name servers. It is helpful in troubleshooting DNS problems. It
is also used for lookups and will display answers from the query. Correct answer-DIG (DOMAIN
INFO GROPER)
is a tool most often used to look up who owns a domain or block of IP addresses on the internet,
including name, email address, and physical address. Correct answer-WHOIS
can be used to display the current tables on a host. It can also be used to add or remove routes.
This is used by the local host to determine where to send traffic. Correct answer-ROUTE
