Question:

You're working on a Windows workstation, addressing a connection issue with a computer in another office on your campus area network. You must figure out where packets between the two are being dropped. To find out the last router that the package pass through, you would use which of the following commands?

A tracert
explanation

The tracert command displays the routers that a packet passed through and the time it took for each hop, which might help you narrow down your search for the problem by indicating how far it got. Typing ipconfig /all displays the local machine's current TCP/IP settings, including its IP address, MAC address, and default gateway. ip is the macOS equivalent of ipconfig. By time out, the ping command just indicates that the packet is not making the trip there and back.
