CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) — Question 190

An administrator needs to get network information from a group of statically assigned workstations before they are reconnected to the network. Which of the following should the administrator use to obtain this information?

Answer options

• A. ip show
• B. ifcfg -a
• C. ifcfg -s
• D. ifname -s

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The command 'ifcfg -a' is used to display all network interface configurations, making it suitable for retrieving network information from statically assigned workstations. The other options, such as 'ip show', do not exist as valid commands, and 'ifcfg -s' and 'ifname -s' do not provide the comprehensive data needed in this scenario.
