CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 370

A PC and a network connectivity, and a help desk technician is attempting to resolve the issue. The technician plans to run a constant ping command from a Windows workstation while testing various possible reasons for the connectivity issue. Which of the following should the technician use?

Answer options

• A. ping -w
• B. ping -i
• C. ping -s
• D. ping -t

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct option is D, 'ping -t', which allows the technician to send continuous ping requests until manually stopped, thereby helping to monitor the network connection over time. The other options (A, B, and C) do not provide the continuous ping functionality; instead, they modify other parameters of the ping command, such as wait time, TTL, or packet size.
