Testing DNS

1. Ping a machine known to be running by its IP address, for example:

target# ping -c 4 192.168.1.2

2. Ping the same machine using its DNS name:

target# ping -c 4 server1

Both should respond with a message including:

4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss,

If DNS is not working the second message will be:

ping: unknown host server1x
