Dynamic domain name resolution configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 38 , the device wants to access the host by using an easy-to-remember domain name
rather than an IP address, and to request the DNS server on the network for an IP address by using
dynamic domain name resolution. The IP address of the DNS server is 2.1.1.2/16 and the DNS server has
a com domain, which stores the mapping between domain name host and IP address 3.1.1.1/16.
Configure dynamic domain name resolution and the domain name suffix com on the device that serves
as a DNS client so that the device can use domain name host to access the host with the domain name
host.com and the IP address 3.1.1.1/16.

Configuration procedure
NOTE:
•
Before performing the following configuration, make sure that the device and the host are accessible to
each other via available routes, and that the IP addresses of the interfaces are configured as shown
Figure 38 .
• This configuration may vary with DNS servers. The following configuration is performed on a PC
running Windows Server 2000.
1. Configure the DNS server
# Enter the DNS server configuration page.
Select Start > Programs > Administrative Tools > DNS.
# Create zone com.
As shown in
Figure 39 , right click Forward Lookup Zones, select New zone, and then follow the
instructions to create a new zone named com.
