DNS Lookup

[MAJBlaine]

Does the Cisco CLI have an equivelent command to the nslookup command? I'm trying to see where a user's DNS requests are failing.
- Thanks

Try a traceroute command. It gives the IP of every hop. You can see where it stops.

tracert in DOS
traceroute in cisco

Traceroute is disabled across the network for security reasons....I'm new to the postition so before I start removing all these raodblocks, I have learn why it was put in place my predecessor.

disabled traceroute? for security? I can see applying a ACL to disable ping/traceroute for a group but not across the board. It makes troubleshooting much more difficult. I would not remove the roadblocks but I would modify them slightly in order to do basic troubleshooting.

if you need to trace or use nslookup outside the network, there are public sites to do this but it really defeats the purpose if you can not include your own network in the trace.
