In this challenge lab, you will learn how to use various command-line tools for configuring, testing, and troubleshooting network connectivity on Linux and Windows. First, you will configure IPv4 on Linux by using ip, ifconfig, and route, and then you will use the ipconfig Windows command-line tool. Next, you will use various Windows network command-line tools, including tracert, netstat, telnet, hostname, whoami, arp, getmac, net, and netstat, and then you will use nslookup to verify local DNS resolutions. Finally, you will troubleshoot networking by using ping. Note: Once you begin a challenge you will not be able to pause, save, or return to your progress. Please ensure you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge before you start.
