Which command shows details of the routing table and allows manipulation?

• A. nslookup
• B. route
• C. dig
• D. traceroute

Answer: (B)

Understanding how to view and adjust the IP routing table is about knowing which tool can both reveal current routes and modify them. The route command fits this need because it displays the routing table entries, showing destinations, gateways, and interfaces, and it also provides options to add, delete, or change routes. For example, you can print the table with numeric addresses using route -n, or add a default route with route add default gw . In contrast, DNS tools like nslookup and dig are used to resolve names to IP addresses, and traceroute shows the path packets take to a destination without altering routing tables. So, the route command is the one that both shows the routing table and allows manipulation.
