ping - This is correct. The ping command sends ICMP echo requests to a specific IP address or hostname to check its reachability over the network. It helps verify if the device or server at the target address is online and responding.
tracert - The tracert command traces the route packets take to reach a specific IP address or hostname. While it provides useful information about the path to the target, its primary purpose is route tracing rather than simple connectivity checks.
nslookup - The nslookup command is used to query DNS servers for resolving domain names to IP addresses or vice versa. It does not test network connectivity to an IP address.
ipconfig - The ipconfig command displays the network configuration of the local machine, such as IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. It does not check the reachability of a specific IP address.
