Explanation
To verify the IP parameters on a Windows client, you can use the 'ipconfig' command to display the current TCP/IP configuration or check the network adapter settings through the Control Panel to manually inspect and manage IP configuration. These are the correct approaches for troubleshooting IP-related issues on a Windows machine.
- A. Correct.
Correct: The 'ipconfig' command in Windows Command Prompt provides detailed information about the IP configuration, including IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: This step is specific to macOS and does not apply to a Windows machine.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The 'ifconfig' command is used in Linux, not Windows.
