> NMAP -sn 192.168.11.200-215
The NMAP command above performs which of the following?


A.
A ping scan
B. A trace sweep
C. An operating system detect
D. A port scan

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

NMAP -sn (No port scan)
This option tells Nmap not to do a port scan after host discovery, and only print out the available hosts that responded to the host discovery probes. This is often known as a ping scan, but you can also request that traceroute and NSE host scripts be run.
