CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 73
A technician is troubleshooting a user's laptop that is unable to connect to a corporate server. The technician thinks the issue pertains to routing. Which of the following commands should the technician use to identify the issue?
Answer options
- A. tcpdump
- B. dig
- C. tracert
- D. arp
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C, tracert, as it is used to trace the route packets take to reach a network destination, helping identify where the connection fails. The other options, while useful for different network troubleshooting tasks, do not specifically address routing issues in the same way that tracert does.
