ITPEC FE Subject A April 2025 — Question 26 of 60
ping and traceroute — basic network diagnostic tools.
- •ping — tests reachability of a remote host using ICMP echo request/reply
- •traceroute — shows the path (sequence of hops) packets take to reach a destination
- •netstat — displays current network connections and listening ports on the local machine
Logical order: first check if the host is reachable (ping), then trace the route (traceroute).
Why not others:
- (a) netstat / ping — netstat does not test reachability of a remote host
- (b) netstat / traceroute — same issue: netstat is for local connection info
- (d) traceroute / ping — reversed order; reachability check comes before path tracing
