A user complains that the workstation cannot access the network. The network technician asks the user to issue the ping 127.0.0.1 command. What is the purpose of using this command?
- to test the reachability of a remote network
- to check that the workstation can reach a DHCP server
- to verify that the TCP/IP stack is operational
- to verify that the NIC is configured with a static address
Explanation: The ping 127.0.0.1 command is used to verify the proper operation of the TCP/IP protocol stack from the network layer to the physical layer - and back. This operation of this command does not actually put a signal on the network media.
