Just the IP and gateway, nothing else!

I thought it would show firewall settings too, but I guess not.

Wait, does ipconfig really show the SSID? I thought it didn’t.

I’m a bit confused about the firewall settings; I don’t think ipconfig shows that, right? I’m pretty sure it’s just B and E.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the SSID isn't shown in ipconfig, so I'm leaning towards B and E.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like it also provides the default gateway address, which might be option E.

I remember that ipconfig shows the IP address, so I think option B is definitely one of the answers.

Alright, let's see. The IP address and default gateway are definitely going to be in the ipconfig output, so I'll go with those. The other options seem a bit iffy - I don't think ipconfig would show the wireless encryption or firewall settings. Time to make my picks!

I'm a bit confused by the options here. I know ipconfig gives network configuration details, but I'm not sure if it would show things like the wireless SSID or firewall settings. I'll have to review my notes on the ipconfig command to make the best choices.

Easy one! The ipconfig command will show me the IP address and default gateway, which are the key pieces of information I need to diagnose a network connectivity issue. I've got this.

Hmm, I'm not sure about the other options. The encryption type and SSID seem more related to wireless networking, so I don't think the ipconfig command would show that. I'll have to think carefully about the best two answers here.
