What is the best way to deal with interview tech questions that you don't know? I have heard many things from saying "I will get back to you" or "ive never used that technology but this is what ive used and how I would do this"
Is there a best approach?

Read up on technology and the company BEFOREHAND, that helps with most questions. If you honestly don't know, say that. Most interviewers like the honesty.Never let your fear decide your fate.... -

And when they ask questions I have no clue about I write them down and research them... got it.

It's okay to say you don't know or that you don't remember. You can elaborate a little bit more too if it's just one thing you don't know:
Interviewer - "Describe to me the election process between Cisco switches"
You - "While I've experimented with Cisco switches on basic configurations and command line, I haven't had the opportunity yet to jump into that aspect of them"
If it's something you have absolutely no idea about then I would just say that I don't know. -

If you don't know, say that you don't know and explain what you would do to find out. Most of the time this isn't a problem because no one knows everything and it's typically more important to be able to find an answer you don't know. The exception to this is when an expert in a specific thing is needed, but in that case it might not be a good fit.When you go the extra mile, there's no traffic. -
