A company hired a technician to find all the devices connected within a network. Which of the following software tools would BEST assist the technician in completing this task?
i hate this question, while IP scanner is the most appropriate....if we go online and download the most popular IP scanner and Port Scanner from the same site we will find that port scanner is just the IP scanner but with port info; like just a better version
An IP scanner is a network tool used to discover and inventory devices connected to a network by scanning IP addresses within a specified range. It identifies active devices, provides information such as IP addresses, MAC addresses, device types, and sometimes operating systems. This tool is commonly used for network discovery and mapping, making it ideal for the technician's task of finding all connected devices within the network.
IP scanners will first scan for the IP addresses on network segments, & then conduct a deeper scan against each IP addresses to scan the ports for their services.
Port Scanners are a software that determines port statuses on the network, but does not scan for IP address & device that is connected.
Port scanner scan for application ports that can be accessed by external communication reaching the network this does not indicate the devices that are on this network. Best way to know devices on the network is by the physical MAC or logical (IP) address that applies to layer 2 and 3 respectively, I will say A is the answer
While this is also correct, the questions asks to "BEST" get the information, and the comptia text makes it clear that it considers IP scanners to be better than simple port scanners in this respect.
