Which command should be applied to view the contents of the connection tracking table?

The command to view the contents of the connection tracking table is /ip firewall connection print. This command specifically shows the current connections that are being tracked by the MikroTik router, including details such as the source and destination addresses, ports, and the connection state. The connection tracking feature is key in managing network traffic and implementing firewall rules.

Using this command helps network administrators monitor how connections are being established and which are active, making it easier to diagnose issues related to connectivity or security. It outputs a list of active connections, which is essential in a live network environment for troubleshooting and ensuring proper operation of services.

The other choices do not provide the correct context or purpose to display the connection tracking table. For instance, while connection tracking is a feature of the firewall, the option that directly corresponds to viewing the table is specifically designed for that purpose, reinforcing the importance of using the right command in MikroTik configuration.
