42
Q

What is the name for the local loopback interface

43
Q

What is the name for a wired network interface

44
Q

The blank is a special virtual network interface that any local program can use to communicate with other programs just as if they were across a network

A

local loopback inteface

45
Q

If the output doesn’t show a network address assigned to the interface, you can use the blank command to specify the host address and netmask value for the interface

46
Q

You can use the blank command to set up the default router for the network interface

A

ip route add

47
Q

Although the ip command is a one-stop method for changing network settings, you can also specify network routing settings for your network with the blank command

48
Q

Three common DHCP client programs available for Linux are what?

A

dhcpcd
dhclient
pump

49
Q

What DHCP client program is becoming the most popular?

50
Q

Before you can use the ip command to assign an address to a wireless interface, you must assign the wireless SSID and encryption key value using the blank command

51
Q

When setting up the encryption key with the iwconfig command precede the encryption key with blank in order to use ASCII text characters

52
Q

If you don’t know the name of the local wireless connection, you can use the blank command to display all the wireless signals your wireless card detects

53
Q

One way to test network connectivity is to send blank to known hosts

A

test packets

54
Q

The blank and blank commands sent Internet Control Message Protocol (IMCP) using either the IP or IPv6 protocols

55
Q

The basic format for the ping command is to specify the blank of the remote host

A

IP address

56
Q

The ping command continues to send packets until you hit what or alternatively use what option to set a number of packets to send then stop?

57
Q

With the ping6 command, you also have to specify which interface to blank

A

send packets out on

58
Q

You can test a DNS host name system with the blank command

59
Q

The host command returns all blank assigned to the specify host name

A

IP addresses

60
Q

You can also specify an IP address with the blank command to get the host name associated to it

61
Q

The blank command displays all of the DNS data records associated with a specific host or network

62
Q

Name the two commands that provide complex information about the network environment

A

netstat
ss

63
Q

By default, the blank command list all the open network connections on the system

64
Q

Withe the netstat command, you can limit the output to just TCP connections with the blank option, or limit to UDP connections with the blank option

65
Q

With the netstat command, you can get a list of what applications are listening on which network ports by using the blank option

66
Q

With the netstat command, you can display statistics for the different types of packets the system has used on the network with the blank command

67
Q

The netstat tool provides a wealth of information, but it can be hard to determine which program is listening on which open port. The blank command helps with that

73
Q

Which command displays what processes are using what ports on a Linux system?

A) iwconfig
B) ip
C) ping
D) nmtui

A) dig
B) netstat
C) ping6
D) host
E) ss

78
Q

Which ifconfig format correctly assigns an IP address and netmask to the eth0 interface?

A) ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
B) ifconfig eth0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.0
C) ifconfig up 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
D) ifconfig up
E) ifconfig down

79
Q

What command displays all wireless networks in your area?

80
