• stat -c %a /your_file_path
• ls -all /your_file_path
• ls -ltr /your_file_path
• ls -ll /your_file_path 

 

EXPLANATION

If we want to view the file permissions or the folder permissions in octal notation (mean in numbers), the command will be:

linux@machine:~$ sudo stat -c %a <the file path>

Otherwise, any other command, will show us the file or the folder permissions in Letters mode.

What CIDR Range is reserved for Network interconnectivity device benchmark testing?

What CIDR Range is reserved for Network interconnectivity device benchmark testing?

• 14.0.0.0/8
• 240.0.0.0/4
• 223.255.255.0/24
• 198.18.0.0/15 

 

EXPLANATION

198.18.0.0/15 - This block has been allocated for use in benchmark tests of network interconnect devices. [RFC2544] explains that this range was assigned to minimize the chance of conflict in case a  testing device were to be accidentally connected to part of the Internet. Packets with source addresses from this range are not meant to be forwarded across the Internet.
