Which of the following commands displays all ebtable rules contained in the table filter including their packet and byte counters?

Question

Options

• Aebtables -t nat -L -v
• Bebtables -L -t filter -Lv
• Cebtables -t filter -L --Lc
• Debtables -t filter -Ln -L
• Eebtables -L -Lc -t filter

• A
  3% (1)
• C
  94% (32)
• E
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option C is correct because ebtables -t filter -L --Lc properly combines all three required elements: -t filter targets the correct table, -L lists all rules in that table, and --Lc is the specific long-form option that appends packet and byte counters to each rule entry - note the double dash, which is required for this option.

Option A fails immediately because it specifies -t nat instead of -t filter, targeting the wrong table entirely. Option B uses -Lv which is invalid syntax; verbose mode (-v) does add information but is not the mechanism for packet/byte counters, and the flag combination is malformed. Option D uses -Ln (which would enable numeric output, not counters) and redundantly repeats -L without ever specifying a counter flag. Option E looks plausible but uses -Lc with a single dash, which is invalid - --Lc requires a double dash as a long option, making this a syntax error.

Memory tip: Think "double dash, double data" - --Lc needs two dashes and gives you two metrics (packets and bytes). Any option using -Lc (one dash) is a trap answer.
