CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 192

A technician needs to manually set an IP address on a computer that is running macOS. Which of the following commands should the technician use?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct command for setting an IP address on macOS is 'ifconfig', which is specifically designed for configuring network interfaces. 'ipconfig' is used in Windows, 'arpa' is not a valid command for this purpose, and 'ping' is used to test network connectivity rather than set IP addresses.
