A network technician has received comments from several users that cannot reach a particular
website. Which of the following commands would provide the BEST information about the path
taken across the network to this website?
A.
ping
B.
netstat
C.
telnet
D.
tracert
Explanation:
Why not ping??
Tracert provides the details about the route taken to the website. The question does not provide details such as other websites being down. While ping can determine if there is a response it does not determine that the website is down on their end. And once again there is no information on whether it is or not. So best choice is to do a tracert to see if the route is the issue or if the end server of the route is the issue.
“traceroute is a computer network diagnostic tool for displaying the route (path) and measuring transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network.”
