A technician reviews the following output: Which of the following commands should the technical execute to ensure the system has the appropriate paging? (Select TWO.)

dd is a low-level data copying tool used for cloning disks or creating images, not for initializing or enabling swap space.

mkswap initializes a partition such as /dev/sda5 by writing the swap area header so the kernel recognizes it as swap space, and swapon then registers and activates that partition so the kernel can use it for paging. Both commands are required sequentially - mkswap prepares the structure and swapon enables it at runtime.

mkfs.ext3 formats a partition with the ext3 filesystem for general file storage, which would destroy any swap metadata rather than create it.

iostat reports I/O statistics for block devices and is a monitoring tool, not a swap configuration command.

free displays current memory and swap usage statistics but does not configure, format, or enable any swap partition.
