ICND2: Interconnecting Cisco Networking Devices Part 2 (legacy) — Question 65

In which two ways can you isolate the location of a connectivity issue between two devices on your network? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Test whether the next hop from the source can reach the destination and work toward the destination.
• B. Send an extended ping from the destination to the source.
• C. Execute a traceroute from the destination and work toward the source to locate the problematic hop.
• D. Send an extended ping from the source to the destination.
• E. Execute a traceroute from the source to the destination to locate the problematic hop. CE

Correct answer:

Explanation

Option A is correct as it helps verify connectivity step by step towards the destination. Option E is also correct because it traces the path from the source to the destination, identifying any problematic hops. Options B, C, and D do not effectively isolate the connectivity issue between the two devices as they either test in the wrong direction or don't provide the same level of diagnostic detail.
