Albis is a system administrator for a large network. He is troubleshooting a server SS
problem but he can’t remember the IP address. Which of command should Albis execute
to determine the IP address even if he is not at the system?

A.
Tracert.

B.
Nslookup.

C.
IPconfig.

D.
IFconfig.

Explanation:
Well, we are assuming that the server is properly registered in DNS.
By issuing a NSLOOKUP command, from any system, Albis can find the IP address
of the server. Note that the
QUESTION says “even if he is not at the system”.
Incorrect Answers:
A: With the proper parameter set, tracert will translate the DNS name to an IP addressand display
it. This may work, but is not efficient, and not the recommended way to getthe IP address.

C: The IPConfig command is used to display information about the IP stack. Without
anyparameters, IPConfig will display the adapters, showing the IP Address, Subnet Mask,and
Default Gateway of each. This command has to be run AT the system, and thequestion says even
if he is not at the system.
D: IFConfig would require access to the actual server, and we need to be able to get theIP
address from a remote location.
