hierarchical naming system to identify network domains and the hosts associated with
them. You can identify a primar y DNS ser ver and one secondar y ser ver.
Common Commands
set dns domain-name domain-name
Specifies the default domain name for your network. When an application needs to resolve
a host name, it appends the default domain name to the host name and asks the DNS

set dns primary-address ip_address
