I’m on a lab for Network Troubleshooting and one of the tasks requires me to ping FILESERVER. However, I am unable to. I typed ping -c 4 FILESERVER and I get an error. I can do smbclient -L FILESERVER -U cybrary, but I can’t do the next step. Here is the issue.
Did you add a DNS record for FILESERVER on the DNS server?
Did you also type echo “search clab.local” >> /etc/resolv.conf and press Enter on Linux-A to add a search domain entry to resolv.conf ?
This is the lab by the way: Cybrary
So in the lab you are asked to ping FILESERVER and you can’t. This is by design. Please continue with the lab steps to resolve the issue, specifically you will need to make a DNS record for FILESERVER on the DNS server and modify resolv.conf on Linux-A. The lab steps show you how.
Solved! Thank you very much!
