CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 50

A company hired a technician to find all the devices connected within a network. Which of the following software tools would BEST assist the technician in completing this task?

Answer options

• A. IP scanner
• B. Terminal emulator
• C. NetFlow analyzer
• D. Port scanner

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The IP scanner is designed specifically for discovering devices on a network by scanning IP addresses. The Terminal emulator is used for accessing remote systems, the NetFlow analyzer monitors traffic but does not identify devices, and the Port scanner checks open ports on devices rather than listing them.
