Question 66 CEL02 - Chief Engineer - Limited (Alt)

The Correct Answer is B **Why Option B is Correct:** The `ipconfig` utility is a command-line tool. To execute it, a user must first open the Command Prompt (or PowerShell) and then type the command. While simply typing `ipconfig` will display basic IP information, the question implies finding or *verifying* detailed network information, which usually requires the `/all` switch (`ipconfig /all`). The `/all` switch provides comprehensive details such as the MAC address (Physical Address), DNS servers, DHCP lease information, and detailed adapter configurations, making it the most useful way to fully discover and verify IP addressing details. Since `ipconfig` must be run from the command prompt, and the `/all` switch is essential for detailed verification, this option accurately describes a valid and comprehensive launch method. **Why the Other Options Are Incorrect:** * **A) It is run from the command prompt screen by default by simply bringing up the command prompt.** * Bringing up the command prompt screen only prepares the environment; it does not automatically execute the `ipconfig` program. The user must still type the command. * **C) It is run by clicking on the TCP/IP shortcut icon on the desktop.** * There is no default desktop shortcut for executing the `ipconfig` command. Clicking on TCP/IP-related icons usually opens the Network Connections Control Panel settings, which is a graphical interface for viewing or changing configuration, not running the command-line utility. * **D) It is run by clicking on the "ipconfig" icon in start menu or under programs.** * Command-line utilities like `ipconfig` are system files (usually located in the system folder) and are not typically represented by an executable shortcut icon in the Start Menu or Programs list designed for direct clicking. They are intended to be launched via the command-line interface (CLI).
