In Linux, you can use the terminal to determine the DNS server. You can use the following command to find out the DNS server information:
1. ifconfig –a
This command will list out all your network interfaces and the associated IP addresses. The line that says “DNS servers“ will give you the DNS server address.
2. cat /etc/resolv.conf
This command will display the contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file, including the DNS server address.
To determine a DNS server in Linux, you can use the command line tool “nslookup”. To do this, open a terminal window and type the command “nslookup” followed by the domain name that you want to query. This will return the IP address of the DNS server used by the domain.
