Network Services and Security
You are connected to R1. The network uses DNS to resolve hostnames for remote device management. Currently, R1 cannot resolve the hostname 'ServerA' via DNS. Using the nslookup and dig commands, you have gathered the following outputs:
nslookup ServerA Server: 203.0.113.1 Address: 203.0.113.1#53
Name: ServerA.example.com Address: 203.0.113.10
dig ServerA ... ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: ... ...
The show running-config command shows that 'ip domain-lookup' is enabled, the name-server is 203.0.113.1, and no static host entries are configured. Diagnose and fix the DNS resolution failure. Ensure that R1 can successfully resolve 'ServerA' to its intended IP address 198.51.100.10.
