- D ss -lntp
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
A. The command "netstat -tulnp" is used to display active network connections and listening ports on a system. It does not provide information about the system's routing table, so it is not the correct choice for checking a routing issue.
B. The command "route add default gw" is used to add a default gateway to the system's routing table. It is not used to display the existing routing table, so it is not the correct choice for checking the system's routing table in this scenario.
C. The command "ip route show" is used to display the system's routing table, including the routes to different networks and the default gateway. It provides the necessary information to diagnose a routing issue, making it the correct choice for checking the system's routing table in this situation.
D. The command "ss -lntp" is used to display listening network sockets on a system. It does not provide information about the system's routing table, so it is not the correct choice for checking a routing issue related to reaching an external website.
