8.2 DNS

DNS support on the IC35516 is limited to client mode; the switch makes a client DNS request to the name servers,
and the returned host entry is saved in a cache to increase the performance of the resolver module.

8.2.1 Configuring DNS

To configure DNS, enter the following commands in global configuration mode:

Command Purpose

ip domain-lookup

Enables DNS-based host name-to-address/address-to-name
translation.

no ip domain-lookup

Disables DNS-based host name-to-address/address-to-name
translation.

ip name-server A.B.C.D

Specifies the address of DNS name servers.

no ip name-server A.B.C.D

Deletes the address of DNS name servers.

ip domain-name WORD

Defines a default domain name that the software uses to
complete unqualified host names (names without a dotted-
decimal domain name). Do not include the initial period that
separates an unqualified name from the domain name.

no ip domain-name

Removes the default domain name.

ip domain-list WORD

Defines a list of domains, each to be tried in turn. If there is
no domain list, the domain name that is specified with the ip
domain-name
global configuration command will be used.

no ip domain-list WORD

Removes the domain name specified in WORD.

ip ospf name-lookup

Configures Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) to look up DNS
names for use in all OSPF show EXEC command displays.
This feature makes it easier to identify a router because the
router is displayed by name rather than by its router ID or
neighbor ID.
