A network administrator is troubleshooting an issue with a new Internet connection. The ISP is asking detailed questions about the configuration of the router that the network administrator is troubleshooting. Which of the following commands is the network administrator using? (Choose two.)
The network administrator would most likely use the 'show config' and 'show route' commands. The 'show config' command displays the current configuration of the router, which would include critical information such as interface settings, IP addresses, routing protocols, and security settings. The 'show route' command displays the routing table of the router, showing how the router manages the paths for different IP destinations. Both of these commands would provide the detailed information that the ISP might be asking for when troubleshooting the Internet connection.
Dont trust any answers from the test taker and the mods dont update the correct answers. Use the community vote, ask a mentor, look up the question on google, and ask CHATGPT to get an overall view of what the answer should be
totally agree
Key word SHOW
There is no show config command on router. The actual command is "show running-config". Thats why correct answer is DE. You should see the correct command on cisco site https://content.cisco.com/chapter.sjs?uri=/searchable/chapter/www.cisco.com/content/en/us/td/docs/security/fwsm/fwsm32/command/reference/fwsm_ref/s5.html.xml
CompTIA Network+ is a vender neutral exam and lists show config and show route as Basic network platform commands in their objectives. Gotta remember this isnt cisco specific and CompTIA will only use their terminology, no matter how useless that may be in the real world
"show config" is absolutely a valid command on several switches (HP/Aruba to name one). Cisco isn't the only game in town...
The two commands that the network administrator might be using to troubleshoot the Internet connection and the router configuration are: show config: This command displays the current configuration of the router. The network administrator can use this command to view the router's configuration settings, including the WAN and LAN interfaces, routing protocols, and security settings. show ip arp: This command displays the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, which is a table of IP addresses and their corresponding Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. The network administrator can use this command to check whether the router has the correct MAC address for the ISP's gateway.
Netstat has to do with troubleshooting & configurations of connections over the Internet, this can be used to question both incoming & outgoing connections, routing tables, port listening & usage. These queries would have to go through your router's default gateway. Show Route displays entries in the routing table learned through static routes & interior (router) gateway protocols that are to be sent out the interface with either the specified IP address, or specified name. Show config isn't directly asking the router detailed information, but checks the client's port connections that run through your firewall.
I need to know DE is the standard answer or not!!!
See Juliana1017 above
B. show config - This command displays the current configuration of the router. The network administrator may be using this command to provide the ISP with detailed information about how the router is configured. F. show ip arp - This command displays the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache of the router. The network administrator may be using this command to provide the ISP with information about the IP addresses and corresponding MAC addresses of devices connected to the router.
Show Config show Route
"show ip arp" does not show the current running configuration of the device; all it shows is the ARP table that the devices use for Layer 2 communication. The ISP is asking for the configuration of the device, so "show ip arp" is incorrect. "show config" shows the current configuration of the router and "show route" shows the routing table of the router, which the router uses to perform its task of routing packets based on the destination IP address.
B and F. ISP is asking about the configuration of the router. That is the key here. Show config, we all know why and show ip arp is needed to verify that the router is able to resolve the MAC addresses of devices on the network, which is essential for proper communication.
B & D Even GPT says the same thing (I created a custom GPT with all the available materials and clear instructions for N008 certification). show config & shot route are the correct answers, as they provide comprehensive details about the router's configuration and routing information, which are crucial for troubleshooting an Internet connection issue with the ISP. Why not F? show IP arp display the ARP table, showing the mapping of IP addr to Mac addr. While this can be useful for troubleshooting network connectivity, it does not provide detailed configuration information about the router.
B and D. While there are other "correct" answers, i could only find B and D on the exam objectives provided by comptia
Per CompTIA "The show route, show ip route , show ipv6 route , or similar command will output the active routing table. As well as destination, gateway, AD/metric, and interface, the output will show the source of the route, identified as a letter code (C = connected, S = static, R = RIP, B = BGP, D = EIGRP, O = OSPF, and so on)." show config displays the switch's configuration. tcpdump is a command-line packet capture utility for Linux ipconfig command is still widely used for basic configuration reporting and support tasks.
GPT says the network administrator may be using the following commands to troubleshoot the router's configuration and connectivity: B. show config: This command is typically used on networking devices like routers and switches to display the current configuration. It can help the administrator verify the router's settings and identify any misconfigurations. F. show ip arp: This command displays the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table, which is important for network connectivity. It can help the administrator verify that the router has the correct ARP entries for devices on the local network.
GPT picks (B) and (F): "The network administrator is most likely using the following commands: (B) show config and (F) show ip arp. (B) show config: This command displays the current configuration of the router, which can help the network administrator provide detailed information to the ISP about how the router is set up. (F) show ip arp: This command displays the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) table, which maps IP addresses to MAC addresses. This information can be useful for troubleshooting network connectivity issues and ensuring proper communication between devices. The other options like tcpdump, hostname, show route, and netstat may also be useful in different troubleshooting scenarios, but they are not specifically related to providing detailed router configuration information to an ISP."
not what it gave me: When troubleshooting an Internet connection issue and providing details to the ISP, the network administrator might need to provide information about the router's configuration and routing. The relevant commands are: B. show config: This command displays the current configuration of the router, including settings for interfaces, IP addresses, routing protocols, access control lists (ACLs), and more. It helps the ISP understand how the router is set up. D. show route: This command displays the routing table of the router, showing the paths and next-hop addresses for different IP destinations. It provides insights into how traffic is being routed within the network. The other options are not directly related to providing detailed information about the router's configuration and routing
Because all routers are Cisco devices, without any exceptions… stupid questions...
This ones are the correct ones
