WGU Network and Security Foundation Exam - Topic 2 Question 6 Discussion

Actual exam question for WGU's Network and Security Foundation exam
Question #: 6
Topic #: 2
[All Network and Security Foundation Questions]

A person is troubleshooting a network issue and needs to see a list of all active network connections.

Which Linux command should be used?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The netstat command in Linux displays active network connections, listening ports, and network statistics. It is useful for diagnosing network issues and identifying open connections.

nslookup is for DNS queries.

dig provides DNS information, not network connection status.

ifconfig shows network interface details but does not list active connections.

I'd go with B) netstat. It's a classic Linux networking tool.

I thought nslookup was for DNS queries, so that can't be it. I really hope netstat is the correct answer!

I keep mixing up netstat and ifconfig. I think ifconfig is more about interface configurations, not connections.

I remember practicing with netstat in a lab, and it showed all the active connections. That feels right.

I think the command we need is netstat, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best choice for active connections.

Okay, let me think this through. Netstat is for viewing network connections, while ifconfig is more for configuring network interfaces. I'm pretty confident netstat is the right choice here.

Wait, is it netstat or ifconfig? I'm a little unsure about the difference between those two commands.
