CLI REFERENCES
◆ "ip name-server" on page 1369
◆ "show dns" on page 1371
COMMAND USAGE
◆ To enable DNS service on this switch, configure one or more name
servers, and enable domain lookup status (see "Configuring General
DNS Service Parameters" on page 587).
◆ When more than one name server is specified, the servers are queried
in the specified sequence until a response is received, or the end of the
list is reached with no response.
◆ If all name servers are deleted, DNS will automatically be disabled. This
is done by disabling the domain lookup status.
