Dynamic Domain Name Resolution Configuration Example 
Network requirements 
As shown in  Figure 1-3, the switch serving as a DNS client uses dynamic domain name 
resolution to access the host at 3.1.1.1/16 through its domain name host. The DNS server 
has the IP address 2.1.1.2/16. The DNS suffix is com.

Configuration procedure 
 
 
Before doing the following configuration, make sure that: 
z   The routes between the DNS server, Switch, and Host are reachable. 
z   Necessary configurations are done on the devices. For the IP addresses of the 
interfaces, see the figure above. 
z   There is a mapping between domain name host and IP address 3.1.1.1/16 on the DNS 
server. 
z   The DNS server works normally. 
 
# Enable dynamic domain name resolution. 
<Sysname> system-view 
[Sysname] dns resolve 
# Configure the IP address 2.1.1.2 for the DNS server. 
[Sysname] dns server 2.1.1.2 
# Configure com as the DNS suffix  
[Sysname] dns domain com 
Execute the ping host command on Switch to verify that the communication between 
Switch and Host is normal and that the corresponding IP address is 3.1.1.1. 
[Sysname] ping host 
 Trying DNS server (2.1.1.2)
