Actual exam question for WGU's Network and Security Foundation exam

Question #: 11
Topic #: 2

Users of a network have been experiencing issues. In the course of troubleshooting, an administrator wants to test DNS resolution against a host.

Which command in Linux should be used for this purpose?

Atraceroute

Bnetstat

Cdig

Difconfig

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The dig command in Linux is used for DNS troubleshooting. It queries DNS records and provides detailed information about domain name resolutions.

traceroute tracks the path packets take to a destination but does not diagnose DNS.

netstat lists active connections, not DNS records.

ifconfig is used for managing network interfaces.

I think the command we need is related to DNS specifically, so maybe it's not traceroute or netstat.
