Exam SY0-601 topic 1 question 106 discussion

Answer is D A. ipconfig - Just shows you the IP information for your current machine B. ssh - this is used for file transfers (ftp etc etc) C. ping - this is just to reach out to a node to get a response from it These are simple ways of explaining. Don't come behind me and getting real granular super duper tech people -_-

Netstat shows listening ports

The netstat command is a network utility used to display network connections, routing tables, and network interface statistics on a system. It can show which ports on the web server are in a listening state, allowing the systems administrator to troubleshoot the server's connection to the internal web server.

Netstat (Network Statistics) is a command-line tool used to display active network connections, listening ports, and related network statistics. By using the appropriate command-line parameters, such as "-a" (all connections and listening ports) or "-n" (numeric format), the administrator can obtain a list of all open ports on the web server that are in a listening state. Options A, B, and C are not relevant for determining the open ports on a web server: ipconfig is a command-line tool used to display IP configuration information on a local system, such as IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. It does not provide information about open ports on a remote web server. ssh (Secure Shell) is a network protocol used for secure remote access to systems. It is not specifically designed to display open ports on a web server. ping is a utility used to test the connectivity and reachability of a network host using Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP). It does not provide information about open ports on a web server.

The tool that BEST shows which ports on a server are in a listening state is netstat. Therefore, the correct answer is D.

The correct answer is D. netstat. Netstat is a command-line tool that displays information about network connections and network statistics. It can be used to show which ports on a server are in a listening state, among other things. This information can be very useful for troubleshooting network issues. A. ipconfig is a command-line tool that displays network configuration information for a computer. It does not show which ports on a web server are in a listening state. B. ssh is a network protocol that allows secure remote access to a server. It does not show which ports on a web server are in a listening state. C. ping is a command-line tool that tests network connectivity between two devices. It does not show which ports on a web server are in a listening state.

Netstat is correct
