Episode 87: CLI Networking Tools — ipconfig, ping, tracert

from Certified - The CompTIA A+ Audio Course Hosted by Dr. Jason Edwards

This episode focuses on essential command-line networking tools that appear regularly on the A Plus exam. We begin with ipconfig—how it displays network adapter information, shows current IP configuration, and helps diagnose connectivity issues. You’ll learn the difference between ipconfig and ipconfig slash all, and how to renew and release DHCP leases. Next, we cover ping and tracert, two tools used to test reachability and trace network paths. We explain how to interpret results, recognize timeouts, and determine when there’s a DNS issue versus a physical network problem. These tools are often referenced in performance-based exam questions, so a strong understanding here is vital. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com.
