Why each option
The IPCONFIG utility displays current TCP/IP configuration details including DHCP server address and lease expiration, making it the correct tool for this task.
PING tests network connectivity by sending ICMP echo requests to a target host and does not display IP configuration or DHCP lease information.
TELNET is a remote terminal protocol used to access and manage remote hosts, not a utility for viewing local TCP/IP or DHCP configuration settings.
TRACERT traces the route packets take to a destination host and displays hop-by-hop latency, but provides no information about local IP configuration or DHCP settings.
IPCONFIG /ALL displays comprehensive TCP/IP network configuration settings for all adapters, including the assigned IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, DHCP server IP address, and the DHCP lease obtained and expiration dates. No other built-in Windows utility combines these specific DHCP and IP configuration details in a single command.
