Overview This command adds IPv4 or IPv6 DNS server addresses. The DNS client on your
device sends DNS queries to IP addresses in this list when trying to resolve a host
name. Host names cannot be resolved until you have added at least one server to
this list. A maximum of three name servers can be added to this list.
The no variant of this command removes the specified DNS name-server address.
Syntax
ip name-server <ip-addr>
no ip name-server <ip-addr>
Mode Global Configuration
