1.4.10 Check Your Understanding – Troubleshoot Endpoint Connectivity

1. What two pieces of information can be verified by issuing the ipconfig/all command on a Windows machine? (Choose two.)

  • the number of Layer 3 devices along the path between the local host and a target server
  • the default gateway
  • all IP address associated with a target domain name
  • all established TCP/IP sessions with the local host
  • the network adapter IP address

Explanation: The command ipconfig/all when issued on a Windows machine will display many IP configuration settings, such as, the IP address of all active network adapters, the subnetmask, the DNS server address, and the default gateway. Use the nslookup command to determine the IP address associated with a target domain name. Use the netstat command to view all established TCP/IP sessions to the local host. Use the tracert command to view the of Layer 3 devices between the local host and a target server.

2. Which command can an administrator use to verify the IP configuration of interfaces on a Linux host?

  • ifconfig
  • ipconfig/all
  • arp -a
  • networksetup -getinfo

Explanation: Using the Linux command line, the network administrator can display the status and IP configuration of interfaces by using the ifconfig command.
