Which statement describes the ping and tracert commands?
- Ping shows whether the transmission is successful; tracert does not.
- Tracert shows each hop, while ping shows a destination reply only.
- Both ping and tracert can show results in a graphical display.
- Tracert uses IP addresses; ping does not.
Explanation: The ping utility tests end-to-end connectivity between the two hosts. However, if the message does not reach the destination, there is no way to determine where the problem is located. On the other hand, the traceroute utility (tracert in Windows) traces the route a message takes from its source to the destination. Traceroute displays each hop along the way and the time it takes for the message to get to that network and back.
