220-802 · Question #916
A technician is interested in running a test to see how much latency exists between a workstation and device at 10.0.0.15. Which of the following command line tools could be used to accomplish this?
The correct answer is D. PING 10.0.0.15. The PING command sends ICMP echo request packets to a target IP and reports the round-trip time, making it the correct tool to measure network latency.

Why each option
The PING command sends ICMP echo request packets to a target IP and reports the round-trip time, making it the correct tool to measure network latency.
IPCONFIG displays the local machine's IP configuration and does not accept a remote IP address as a parameter to test latency.
NSLOOKUP queries DNS servers to resolve hostnames to IP addresses and does not measure network latency.
NETSTAT displays active network connections and port statistics on the local machine and does not accept a remote IP as a target for latency testing.
PING sends ICMP echo request packets to the specified address (10.0.0.15) and displays the round-trip time in milliseconds for each reply. This round-trip time directly represents the latency between the workstation and the target device, making PING the standard tool for this purpose.
