CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 376

Which of the following commands can a technician use to get the MAC address of a Linux distribution?

Answer options

• A. net use
• B. ifconfig
• C. netstat
• D. ping

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as 'ifconfig' is a command used in Linux to configure and display network interface parameters, including the MAC address. The other options, 'net use', 'netstat', and 'ping', serve different purposes; 'net use' is related to Windows networking, 'netstat' displays network connections and statistics, and 'ping' is used to test connectivity to a host.
