Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals (SECFND, legacy) — Question 3

In Linux, what command allows the user to view the network parameters that are used on the device?

Answer options

• A. ipconfig
• B. ifconfig
• C. ping
• D. netstat

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as 'ping' is a command used to test connectivity to another network device. Options A and B ('ipconfig' and 'ifconfig') are commands used in different operating systems; 'ipconfig' is for Windows, and 'ifconfig' is outdated on Linux in favor of 'ip a'. Option D, 'netstat', is used to display network connections and statistics, not specifically network parameters.
