QuestionQ30

Network Monitoring and Analysis

Steve, a network engineer, was assigned to troubleshoot a network issue causing unexpected packet drops. To do so, he used a network troubleshooting utility to capture ICMP echo request packets sent to the server. He determined that some packets were being dropped at the gateway because of a poor network connection.

Identify the network troubleshooting utility Steve used in this scenario.

  • A dnsenurn
  • B arp
  • C traceroute
  • D ipconfig
Explanation

Traceroute uses probe packets, commonly involving ICMP, to show the path to a destination and reveal the hop at which packet loss occurs. This makes it suitable for identifying packet drops at a gateway.
