One solved question, so you can see how these are marked
Which command tells a router which DNS server to query when it needs to resolve a hostname to an IP address?
ip name-server 1.1.1.1
ip name-server specifies the DNS resolver addresses used by the router itself. It does not distribute DNS settings to client PCs; configure those separately, for example through DHCP.
