70% to pass

What is the name of a TCP/IP application run from the command prompt that sends datagrams once every second in the hope of an echo response from another machine (network device) being addressed to test network connectivity and to verify that TCP/IP is running?

ATRACERT

BFTP

CIPCONFIG

DPING

AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) PING. PING is a TCP/IP application that can be run from the command prompt to test network connectivity and verify that TCP/IP is running. It sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request datagrams once every second to the specified network device and waits for an ICMP echo response, which confirms that the device is reachable and that TCP/IP is functioning properly. The other options are incorrect because: A) TRACERT is used to trace the route taken by packets to a destination, B) FTP is a file transfer protocol, and C) IPCONFIG is used to view and configure network interface settings, but none of these are specifically designed to test basic network connectivity like PING.
