CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) — Question 7

Which of the following can be issued from the command line to find the layer 3 hops to a remote destination?

Answer options

• A. traceroute
• B. nslookup
• C. ping
• D. netstat A

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is A. traceroute, as it specifically traces the route packets take to reach a destination, showing each hop in layer 3. The other options do not perform this function; B. nslookup is used for DNS queries, C. ping checks connectivity but does not show hops, and D. netstat A displays network connections and statistics, not hops.
