For me are D and E. Basically with netstat you can see all the active connections, ping isn't useful at all.

B. ping: Used to determine the reachability of a host on an IP network and to measure the round-trip time for packets. It can help verify if a specific IP address is accessible. E. traceroute: Shows the path that packets take to get from your computer to a destination IP address or domain. It can help understand the network structure and identify potential points of failure or bottlenecks.

E. Traceroute is already using ICMP, so no need for ping. A. Because you need to have an understanding of which host is part of which subnet, as the network is having a /16

netstat gives you what is listening traceroute finds the path. ping only does the host availability not the service.

I don't think it is netstat, that only shows the connections of the specific host where the command is issued from. Pings from external devices are often blocked, but they can still enable and use ping internally for purposes like audits and troubleshooting.

DE. We still need to know which TCP and UDP open ports for connections.

Netstat would not provide what is accessible to users. It just provides the active protocol connections.

Ill go with B&E B. ping - determine if a host is active on the network E. traceroute - identify the path that packets take to reach their destination. D. netstate just aint it, its used to identify open ports and active network connections on a local system.

Options: B & D "The netstat command generates displays that show network status and protocol statistics. You can display the status of TCP and UDP endpoints in table format, routing table information, and interface information. netstat displays various types of network data depending on the command line option selected." " ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is available for virtually all operating systems that have networking capability, including most embedded network administration software."

How would netstat help?

Netstat tells you what tcp/udp ports are open and are accessible and accepting connections. Each of these ports represents a service.
