ICND1: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 1 (CCENT, legacy) — Question 24

Which tool can you use to view each Layer 3 hop along the path to a destination?

Answer options

• A. traceroute
• B. SSH
• C. ping
• D. Cisco Discovery Protocol A

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is 'traceroute' because it is specifically designed to display the path packets take to reach a destination, showing each Layer 3 hop. 'SSH' is a protocol for secure remote access, 'ping' checks connectivity without detailing the route, and 'Cisco Discovery Protocol A' is used for network device discovery, not for tracing routes.
