Adding a DNS Server to the Switch
The switch has a DNS client. When you add a DNS server to the switch,
the DNS client allows you to use domain names instead of IP addresses
when you use commands on the switch.
The switch cannot resolve a host name until you have added at least one
server to the DNS server list on the switch. There is no limit on the number
of servers you can add to the list.
To add the IP address of a DNS server, use the IP NAME-SERVER
command. The following example adds the IP address of a DNS server,
10.8.4.75, to the list of DNS servers:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# ip name-server 10.8.4.75
To display the list of DNS servers, use the SHOW IP NAME-SERVER
command in the Privileged Exec mode:
awplus# show ip name-server
Here is an example of the information the command displays.
