Q

What does the ping function do? What is the syntax for the function?

A

“ping” will test the connectivity to a remote network/site (using IP address)
“ping” will be followed by the IP address or the domain name of the site that will be tested.

Q

What does DNS stand for? What does it do? Why?

A

DNS = Domain Name Server
DNS is used to translate URLs into IP addresses. By doing so, the system is able to accurately decipher the location on the network/internet of the data requested.

Q

What does the function tracert do? What is the syntax for the function?

A

tracert checks the path to the remote network/site. This is done by showing each “step” (switch/router routing) that is taken in order to reach the requested IP.
tracert will be followed by the IP address or the domain name of the site that is being checked.
