AlliedWare Plus™ Operating System - Version 5.5.3-0.x
DOMAIN NAME SERVICE (DNS) COMMANDS
IP
NAME-SERVER
ip name-server
Overview Use this command to add 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
Usage notes To allow the device to operate as a DNS proxy, your device must have learned
about a DNS name-server to forward requests to. Name-servers can be learned
through the following means:
• Manual configuration, using the ip name-server command
• Learned from DHCP server with Option 6
Use this command to statically configure a DNS name-server for the device to use.
The order that you enter the servers in, is the order in which they will be used.
Examples To allow a device to send DNS queries to a DNS server with the IPv4 address
10.10.10.5, use the commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# ip name-server 10.10.10.5
To enable your device to send DNS queries to a DNS server with the IPv6 address
2001:0db8:010d::1, use the commands:
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# ip name-server 2001:0db8:010d::1
Parameter Description

server list. The address is entered in the form A.B.C.D for an IPv4
address, or in the form X:X::X:X for an IPv6 address.

will be used.
