Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify options for skipping hostname and limiting hops
-nskips hostname lookup;-m 4limits hops to 4.Step 2: Verify option correctness and order
traceroute -n -m 4 example.com uses both correctly. traceroute -m 4 -h example.com uses invalid-h. traceroute --no-hostname --max-hops=4 example.com uses non-standard options. traceroute -4 -n example.com limits to IPv4 but not hops.Final Answer:
traceroute -n -m 4 example.com -> Option BQuick Check:
-n and -m 4 combined = correct command [OK]
Quick Trick: Combine -n and -m for no hostname and hop limit [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Using -h instead of -m for hops
- Assuming --no-hostname is valid
- Confusing -4 (IPv4) with hop limit
