Which Nbtstat parameter displays a count of resolved names by a broadcast or WINS server?

-n
-r
-c
-s

The correct answer is: -r

The parameter that displays a count of resolved names by a broadcast or WINS server is indeed -r. When you use the Nbtstat command with the -r option, it requests the number of names resolved through the broadcast or WINS (Windows Internet Name Service). This is particularly useful for troubleshooting and monitoring network performance and identifying how many names have been successfully resolved on the network. This command is a part of the NetBIOS over TCP/IP protocol, which is commonly used in Windows networking for name resolution. By utilizing the -r parameter, you can gain insights into your network's name resolution status, which helps in identifying potential issues in connectivity or name resolution processes. The other options serve different functions: - The -n option shows the local cache table of name resolution. - The -c option displays a list of all names currently cached according to the WINS server. - The -s option provides statistics about the NetBIOS session. These variations allow network administrators to gather specific information as needed for effective network management and troubleshooting.
