Question

A junior network administrator tells you that he can ping a DNS server successfully using its IP address, but he has not tested domain name lookups. What utility on the command line would you suggest your colleague use next?

a.tracerouteb.nbtstatc.ipconfigd.nslookup

Answer 1

I would suggest "nslookup" utility on command line.

Step-by-step explanation:

nslookup is a network administration command line tool and it is aimed for querying the Domain Name System to get domain name.

The nslookup command queries DNS servers and shows information about any DNS records.

Therefore, to test domain name lookups, one should use nslookup command.
