Question 570

The engineer proposes this implementation: Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name. The requirement is: A workstation fails to resolve a locally defined hostname despite a correct IP address in /etc/hosts. Which technical explanation best supports the proposed action?

  1. dig's @server argument directs the query to that resolver rather than the configured default.
  2. NSS controls which name sources are consulted; getent exercises the configured system name service path.
  3. The +short option prints condensed result data rather than verbose query sections.
  4. A local hosts entry can take precedence over DNS under the NSS hosts order, resulting in stale answers.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

NSS controls which name sources are consulted; getent exercises the configured system name service path. It specifically supports the proposed action of Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name. for the requirement described.

Incorrect Answers

A:

This explains another Linux operation, namely Run dig @192.0.2.53 host.example A against the selected DNS server., where dig's @server argument directs the query to that resolver rather than the configured default. It does not explain why Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name. satisfies the stated condition.

C:

This explains another Linux operation, namely Run dig +short host.example A., where The +short option prints condensed result data rather than verbose query sections. It does not explain why Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name. satisfies the stated condition.

D:

This explains another Linux operation, namely Remove or correct the stale /etc/hosts mapping and verify name-service precedence., where A local hosts entry can take precedence over DNS under the NSS hosts order, resulting in stale answers. It does not explain why Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name. satisfies the stated condition.

Question 571

The action Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name. was applied for this goal: A workstation fails to resolve a locally defined hostname despite a correct IP address in /etc/hosts. Which observation provides the most direct acceptance evidence?

  1. The DNS answer or diagnostic comes from the targeted server address.
  2. getent hosts returns the intended up-to-date address after the override is corrected.
  3. getent hosts resolves the local mapping when files precedence is enabled.
  4. The active resolver configuration identifies the expected nameserver or local stub address.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

getent hosts resolves the local mapping when files precedence is enabled. This checks the effect of Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name. against the stated operational goal.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That observation checks A Linux host must resolve a name from a specific DNS server without changing system resolver configuration. In this scenario it does not demonstrate Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name.; the relevant evidence must establish getent hosts resolves the local mapping when files precedence is enabled.

B:

That observation checks A hostname resolves in DNS but an application uses an outdated local override. In this scenario it does not demonstrate Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name.; the relevant evidence must establish getent hosts resolves the local mapping when files precedence is enabled.

D:

That observation checks An administrator must identify which DNS servers are configured in a traditional resolver file. In this scenario it does not demonstrate Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name.; the relevant evidence must establish getent hosts resolves the local mapping when files precedence is enabled.

Question 572

A team is validating its implementation of this requirement: A workstation fails to resolve a locally defined hostname despite a correct IP address in /etc/hosts. Which observed mistake most specifically identifies that the intended configure client side dns behavior has NOT been met?

  1. dig reports the new DNS record but getent still returns the old local file mapping.
  2. Running dig without @server queries a different default resolver and produces misleading results.
  3. The operator assumes /etc/hosts contains upstream DNS server addresses.
  4. The system queries remote DNS first and the local mapping is not used as intended.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

The system queries remote DNS first and the local mapping is not used as intended. This shows the requested behavior is absent, so the deployment needs the correction: Correct the hosts source order and recheck getent resolution.

Incorrect Answers

A:

That symptom concerns A hostname resolves in DNS but an application uses an outdated local override. This concerns a separate requirement, not the one being tested. The relevant failure is The system queries remote DNS first and the local mapping is not used as intended. The current requirement calls for a different check.

B:

That symptom concerns A Linux host must resolve a name from a specific DNS server without changing system resolver configuration. This concerns a separate requirement, not the one being tested. The relevant failure is The system queries remote DNS first and the local mapping is not used as intended. The current requirement calls for a different check.

C:

Question 573

During validation, this problem was found: The system queries remote DNS first and the local mapping is not used as intended. The original goal was: A workstation fails to resolve a locally defined hostname despite a correct IP address in /etc/hosts. Which targeted correction best resolves it?

  1. Correct the hosts source order and recheck getent resolution.
  2. Update the local hosts entry or NSS policy and retest both query paths.
  3. Use +short for the concise record response.
  4. Inspect resolver configuration or the managing resolver service rather than hosts mappings.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Correct the hosts source order and recheck getent resolution. It directly addresses the observed symptom: The system queries remote DNS first and the local mapping is not used as intended. The relevant mechanism is NSS controls which name sources are consulted; getent exercises the configured system name service path.

Incorrect Answers

B:

This fix is aimed at dig reports the new DNS record but getent still returns the old local file mapping. and would be relevant if A hostname resolves in DNS but an application uses an outdated local override. The incident instead states The system queries remote DNS first and the local mapping is not used as intended. and needs Correct the hosts source order and recheck getent resolution.

C:

This fix is aimed at The normal dig output is mistaken for application output because it includes headers and status sections. and would be relevant if An operator wants a concise answer-only DNS A-record query instead of a full resolver trace. The incident instead states The system queries remote DNS first and the local mapping is not used as intended. and needs Correct the hosts source order and recheck getent resolution.

D:

This fix is aimed at The operator assumes /etc/hosts contains upstream DNS server addresses. and would be relevant if An administrator must identify which DNS servers are configured in a traditional resolver file. The incident instead states The system queries remote DNS first and the local mapping is not used as intended. and needs Correct the hosts source order and recheck getent resolution.

Question 574

A Linux administrator faces this requirement: An administrator must identify which DNS servers are configured in a traditional resolver file. Which specific action is the best direct solution?

  1. Remove or correct the stale /etc/hosts mapping and verify name-service precedence.
  2. Inspect applicable nameserver directives in /etc/resolv.conf while accounting for managed/stub resolvers.
  3. Inspect the hosts database precedence in /etc/nsswitch.conf and test via getent hosts name.
  4. Run dig +short host.example A.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Inspect applicable nameserver directives in /etc/resolv.conf while accounting for managed/stub resolvers. The mechanism is: resolv.conf records the resolver endpoint configuration used by applicable libc resolver paths.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Remove or correct the stale /etc/hosts mapping and verify name-service precedence. That operation is designed for the different case: A hostname resolves in DNS but an application uses an outdated local override. It does not perform the specific action required here: Inspect applicable nameserver directives in /etc/resolv.conf while accounting for managed/stub resolvers.
