Question 10
A network team addresses this situation: A web host resolves correctly and answers ICMP, but SYN retransmissions receive no SYN-ACK on TCP 443. After the corrective action, which test or result BEST verifies that the problem is resolved?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Three-way handshake packets verify the transport path.
Incorrect Answers
Optical transceiver compatibility and receive-light measurements diagnose the physical signal path before higher-layer work. That check cannot demonstrate completion of the TCP three-way handshake.
Matching decoding proves the presentation translation is consistent. That check cannot demonstrate completion of the TCP three-way handshake.
Ethernet switching learns source MAC addresses from admitted frames on a forwarding VLAN port. That check cannot demonstrate completion of the TCP three-way handshake.
