Set DNS Nameservers to Use Static IP Addresses (Dynamic to Manual
Mode)
This example shows how to reconfigure DNS Nameservers from Dynamic
mode (where name server IP addresses are assigned through DHCP ) to
Manual mode, and specify static IP addresses for them.
1. Check to see which mode the DNS Name Service is running in. (In our
example, DNS naming is running in DHCP mode when we start
because the following command returns up for the mode.)
AT-WA7400# get host dns-via-dhcp
up
2. Turn off Dynamic DNS Nameservers and re-check the settings:
AT-WA7400# set host dns-via-dhcp down
AT-WA7400# get host dns-via-dhcp
down
3. Get the current IP addresses for the DNS Nameservers:
AT-WA7400# get host static-dns-1
10.10.3.9
AT-WA7400# get host static-dns-2
10.10.3.11
4. Re-set the IP addresses for the DNS Nameservers as desired:
AT-WA7400# set host static-dns-1 10.10.3.10
AT-WA7400# get host static-dns-1
10.10.3.10
AT-WA7400# set host static-dns-2 10.10.3.12
AT-WA7400# get host static-dns-2
10.10.3.12
Set DNS Nameservers to Use DHCP IP Addressing (Manual to
Dynamic Mode)
To switch DNS Nameservers from Manual (static IP addresses) to
Dynamic mode (nameserver addresses assigned by DHCP ), use the
reverse command and check to see the new configuration:
AT-WA7400# set host dns-via-dhcp up
