Question

Which of the following commands will help identify a broken router between the local and the remote machine?

Options

• Aps
• Bnetstat
• Cnslookup
• Difconfig

Explanation

The traceroute command maps the network path between a local and remote host, identifying each router (hop) along the way and revealing where connectivity issues might occur.

Common mistakes.

• A. The ps command lists running processes and has no functionality related to network path diagnostics.
• B. The netstat command displays network connections, routing tables, and interface statistics but does not map the path to a remote host.
• C. The nslookup command queries DNS servers for domain name information and does not diagnose network routing issues.
• D. The ifconfig command configures or displays network interface parameters on the local machine and does not provide information about the path to a remote host.
