CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 747

A user reports that the internet seems slow on a workstation, but no other users have reported any issues. The server team confirms the servers are functioning normally. A technician suspects something specific to the user's computer is overutilizing bandwidth. Which of the following commands should the technician use to further investigate the issue?

Answer options

• A. nmap
• B. tcpdump
• C. netstat
• D. nslookup

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, netstat, as it provides information about active connections and network statistics, helping to identify any processes that may be consuming excessive bandwidth on the user's computer. Options A (nmap) and B (tcpdump) are used for network mapping and packet analysis, respectively, while D (nslookup) is utilized for DNS queries and does not provide bandwidth usage insights.
