What are two ways to view the DNS settings for an ESXi 6.x host? (Choose two.)

The vicfg-dns command is part of the vSphere Command-Line Interface (vCLI), which allows administrators to manage ESXi host settings, including DNS configuration, remotely from a vSphere Management Appliance or other vCLI-enabled client. This command provides a structured way to retrieve current DNS server and search domain settings.

ESXi hosts, being based on a Linux kernel, use the standard Unix/Linux convention of storing DNS resolver configuration in the /etc/resolv.conf file. Viewing the contents of this file directly from the ESXi shell provides a direct and accurate way to inspect the configured DNS servers and search domains.

The vicfg-dns command is part of the vSphere CLI and is designed for remote management of ESXi hosts from a client system like VMA, rather than being executed directly on the ESXi host's console for local configuration.

The /etc/dns.conf file is not a standard configuration file used by ESXi hosts for storing DNS settings; the correct file for DNS resolver configuration on ESXi is /etc/resolv.conf.
