A network administrator needs to verify the IP address of a specific website.
Which command should be used to find this information?
tracert
nslookup
ipconfig
ping
nslookup - This is correct. The nslookup command is used to query the Domain Name System (DNS) to obtain the IP address associated with a specific website or domain name. It provides a direct way to find the IP address of a website.
ping - The ping command sends ICMP echo requests to a domain or IP address to check connectivity. While it can sometimes resolve a domain name to an IP address, its primary purpose is to test the reachability of the destination, not to look up IP addresses specifically.
ipconfig - The ipconfig command displays the network configuration of the local machine, such as IP addresses, subnet masks, and default gateways. It does not provide information about external websites or their IP addresses.
tracert - The tracert (Trace Route) command traces the path packets take to reach a destination. While it can show the resolved IP address of the destination during the trace, its main function is to map the route to the target, not to look up the IP address directly.
