Send A Name Server Lookup Request - NETGEAR Insight Instant AirBridge User Manual

Send a name server lookup request

You can configure the AirBridge to send a domain name server lookup (nslookup)
request to an IPv4 address or host name and view the results of the nslookup request.
You can use this option to discover the domain name of an IPv4 address or, the other
way around, the IPv4 address of a domain name.
To send a name server lookup request:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
AirBridge or directly to the AirBridge through an Ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AirBridge.
The login page displays.
If your browser does not display the login page but displays a security message and
does not let you proceed, see Log in to the AirBridge after initial setup on page 31.
3. Enter the AirBridge user name and local device password.
The user name is admin. The local device password is the one that you specified
the first time that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously managed the AirBridge through the NETGEAR Insight app or Insight
Cloud portal, enter the Insight network password for the Insight network location to
which the AirBridge was assigned (see Connect over WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight
App on an iOS or Android mobile device on page 13).
The Device Status page displays the Device Information section and other sections.
4. Under Management, select Tools.
By default, the Ping tab is selected and the Ping Test Parameters page displays.
5. Select the Nslookup tab.
The Nslookup Test Parameters page displays.
6. In the Target IP / Domain Name field, enter the IP address or domain name for
which you want to send a name server lookup request.
7. Click the Start button.
The AirBridge sends the name server lookup request. The results display on the
page.
