Linux Foundation Certified IT Associate (LFCA) — Question 4

A server on the network is unreachable. What is the best method to verify connectivity between your computer and the remote server?

Answer options

• A. lookup
• B. find
• C. ping
• D. netstat

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, 'ping', as it sends ICMP echo requests to the target server to test connectivity. Options A, B, and D do not provide a method for testing network connectivity; 'lookup' is used for DNS queries, 'find' is a search command, and 'netstat' displays network connections and statistics, but does not test connectivity.
