A network technician is performing routine maintenance and connectivity troubleshooting on Windows 11 client workstations. Match each Windows networking command-line tool or applet shortcut on the left to its correct administrative function on the right.
- ipconfig /flushdnsClears and resets the local DNS client resolver cache
- netsh wlan show profilesLists saved wireless network connections and configured SSIDs on the system
- ncpa.cplLaunches the Network Connections Control Panel applet to manage network adapters
- ipconfig /releaseSends a DHCPRELEASE message to forfeit the workstation's current IP address lease
Answer
The correct pairings are: 'ipconfig /flushdns' matches clearing the local DNS client resolver cache; 'netsh wlan show profiles' matches listing saved wireless network profiles; 'ncpa.cpl' matches launching the Network Connections Control Panel applet; and 'ipconfig /release' matches sending a DHCPRELEASE message to forfeit the active IP address lease.
Each item corresponds to a specific Windows client network management feature: 'ipconfig /flushdns' purges cached DNS name resolutions; 'netsh wlan show profiles' displays configured wireless networks; 'ncpa.cpl' opens the legacy Network Connections applet directly; and 'ipconfig /release' informs the DHCP server that the client is relinquishing its active IPv4 lease.
