How to Use the NSLookup Utility

Use the NSLookup utility to get information on the current or specified system's DNS name server.

To Access NSLookup from the Dashboard

To run NSLookup from the Support Tools Dashboard:

1.Use the System Select screen to select the system you want to work with.

2.From the Dashboard menu, select Cisco Common Tools > NSLookup.

3.enter the IP address or DNS of the system you want to query--OR--to get DNS name server information for the current system, leave the Arguments field blank.

Note: When entering arguments, the NetStat command is already implied. Do not enter it in the Arguments field.

4.Specify the command duration time or accept the default (60 seconds). This is the amount of time the command will attempt to run before terminating.

5.Note: For this utility, you may want to adjust this default number downwards; otherwise, it will not return a value until the command has timed out.

6.If desired, check Elevate Command Priority. This ensures the command will run regardless of the level of server activity.

7.Click the Run button.
