IP DOMAIN-LOOKUP

Syntax

ip domain-lookup

Parameters

None

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to enable the DNS client on the switch. The command
allows you to use domain names instead of IP addresses in commands.
The DNS client resolves a domain name into an IP address by sending a
DNS query to the DNS server specified with the IP NAME-SERVER
command.

The DNS client is enabled by default. However, it does not attempt DNS
queries unless at least one DNS server is configured.

To disable the DNS client on the switch, use the NO IP DOMAIN-LOOKUP
command.

Example

The following example enables the DNS client on the switch:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# ip domain-lookup

The following command disables the DNS client on the switch:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# no ip domain-lookup
