A technician needs to view the IP address configuration of a Windows client system and verify if the DHCP server is properly assigning IP addresses without changing the current configuration. Which command-line tool should the technician use?
The ipconfig command is used to display all current TCP/IP network configuration values and refreshes Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings. It does not make any changes to the system, making it the correct tool for verifying IP address configuration without altering any settings. On the other hand, netstat displays active connections and listening ports, hostname only shows the computer's name, and ping is used to check the connectivity with another host on the network.
