Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B, C

A Cisco router can have multiple connections to networks. These connections are known as interfaces for Cisco Routers. For naming each interface, Cisco generally uses the type of interface as part of the name.

Following are some of the naming conventions of Cisco Router interfaces:

An Ethernet interface that is fast always starts with an F.

An interface connected to a serial connection always starts with an S.

An interface connected to an Ethernet segment of the network always starts with an E.

An interface connected to a Token Ring segment always starts with To.

B just lists the routing table, not what he needs.

I feel like netstat -e might be related to errors or statistics, but I don't think it shows connections.

I think netstat -an is the one that shows all connections and listening ports in numerical form. I practiced a similar question last week.

This seems like a good opportunity to demonstrate my knowledge of the netstat command. I'm pretty sure option D, "netstat -an", will give me the information I need in the format the question is asking for.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know the netstat command, but I'm not sure which flag would give me the information in numerical form specifically. I'll have to review my notes.

Okay, the key here is that we need to get the network connections and listening ports in numerical form. I think option D, "netstat -an", is the way to go.

netstat -an, nice! I wonder if John will find any 'interesting' ports open on that website. Hopefully, it's just standard web stuff and not anything suspicious.
