While troubleshooting a Windows 10 laptop that cannot reach the internet, you ask the user to open a Command Prompt and read back the computer's currently assigned IPv4 information - including the address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Which single command should the user run to display this information?
The ipconfig command displays the active TCP/IP configuration for each network adapter. Running it without parameters shows the IPv4 address, subnet mask, and default gateway, making it the quickest way to verify local network settings. By contrast, ping tests reachability to another host, netstat lists active connections and listening ports, and tracert traces the path to a destination. None of those commands reveal the system's own addressing details.
