CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 83

A technician is writing documentation regarding a company's server farm. The technician needs to confirm the server name for all Linux servers. Which of the following commands should the technician run?

Answer options

• A. ipconfig
• B. nslookup
• C. arp
• D. route

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct command is nslookup, which is used to query the DNS to resolve hostnames to IP addresses, making it suitable for confirming server names. The other options, such as ipconfig, arp, and route, serve different purposes like displaying IP configuration, ARP tables, and routing tables, respectively, and are not specifically designed for checking server names.
