Question:

Several network cables were unplugged from the patch panel, and none were labeled. You're at the workstation that has to be reconnected, while another technician is in the cable closet. You should configure this computer to monitor network connectivity continuously so that you know when the other technician plugs in the correct cable. In this case, you should use which of the following commands?

A ping -t

explanation

One of the most useful commands in the TCP/IP protocol is ping. It delivers a sequence of packets to another system, which then responds. This tool is highly useful for debugging issues with remote hosts. The ping -t command starts a persistent ping that continues until you cancel it.
