CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 194

A technician is investigating connectivity issues over the corporate network. The technician attempts to Telnet into an access point in the break room, which is labeled AP-1, but is unable to proceed any further or authenticate.
Which of the following commands will be MOST beneficial in determining the connectivity issues?

Answer options

• A. netstat
• B. tracert
• C. ipconfig
• D. nslookup

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The 'tracert' command is the best option as it traces the route packets take to reach the destination, helping to identify where connectivity issues may occur. 'netstat' shows active connections, 'ipconfig' displays network configuration details, and 'nslookup' is used for DNS queries, but none of these directly diagnose the path to the access point.
