How to find ip for PRIMARY DNS and SECONDARY DNS

on linux, your DNS servers are listed in /etc/resolv.conf if that's what you mean. If not, try writing more than one line, and say please / thank you.

Welcome to LQ.

The DNS in use are usually recorded in the file/etc/resolv.conf, provided you use the DHCP protocol to get a network connection.

EDIT. Too late, again.

Welcome femdela2002,

cat /etc/resolv.conf is the best way to see the IP of your DNS server but,
you can use command "nslookup" to see the IP address of your DNS.

If your not satisfied from this answer then please tell what exactly want.

Thanks,

If you want to configure this because DHCP doesn't assigned DNS servers for you, then you need to ask your internet provider about it. You can also use DNS of Google for example, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
