Command line switchs
I am just wondering how deep Comptia wants me to know the command line switch? for example do I have to know/memorize every switch
like netstat -n, -r, -a and so ? because many of them produce different output then the main command. I hope I put it right. if you don't understand my question. I want to take the Network+ Exam and this is one of the weeknesses that I have. and i would like to work on it if I know how much I need to know.

you might be thinking a little too deep. master the basics first and how in general it can help you troubleshoot the network. also to help you understand it rather than just "memorizing" it, play with those commands and its popular switches yourself.2011 Certification Plans so far:
[Cisco: CCENT (ICND1)-> CCNA (ICND2)]
[MS: MCP-> MCDST-> MCTS / MCITP:ESDT7-> MCITP:EDA7]

Can't answer what level of information you will need to memorize for the Network+.
But I would lab out netstat well. Do something like enable RDP, and find it in netstat. Then disable it and see if it is still there. -

While I'm sure the exam has changed a fair bit since I took mine. I would certainly try and get comfortable with network utilities and their switches. I wouldn't just memorize them, but practice them with hands on labs. You're much more likely to remember them that way. I had many questions that required knowing them for several utilities.---

I would practice with the commands like:
Ipconfig
Netstat
Nbtstat
Ping
Pathping
Tracert
Netsh
I would lab these out, get familiar with their functions and limitations. CompTIA and MS can change exams whenever they want, so it pays to be familiar with more than you think you might need. -

From my experience with N+ and CompTia in general, they don't want you to memorize every single command line switch out there. They want you to be able to recognize, given a scenario, why the command would be appropriate to use. Good luck!
