CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 448

A user cannot access an external server for a client after connecting to a VPN. Which of the following commands would a support agent most likely use to examine the issue? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. nslookup
• B. tcpdump
• C. arp
• D. dig
• E. tracert
• F. route print

Correct answer: E, F

Explanation

The correct answers are E and F. The 'tracert' command helps identify the path packets take to reach the external server and can reveal where the connection fails, while 'route print' displays the current routing table, showing if the VPN is affecting the network routes. The other options, while useful for different diagnostic purposes, do not directly address the routing issues related to VPN connectivity.
