Question 760
A network team observes: A technician must quickly test whether an IPv4 host answers echo requests before investigating services. What is the MOST appropriate corrective action or technical decision?
Explanation
Correct Answer
ICMP echo can establish whether a reachable host responds to probes. Basic ip connectivity has not been tested.
Incorrect Answers
Querying affected names using nslookup against specific recursive and authoritative servers would not meet the need for ping with expected ICMP filtering caveats to test echo reachability.
Running a tightly scoped authorized Nmap TCP scan would not meet the need for ping with expected ICMP filtering caveats to test echo reachability.
Running ipconfig /all and inspecting the complete adapter configuration would not meet the need for ping with expected ICMP filtering caveats to test echo reachability.
