Host name (such as vlsexamp) (unqualified)-host
DNS domain name (such as xyz.com)-domain
Fully qualified name (such as vlsexamp.xyz.com)-fullhost
DNS server address (replaces all addresses with one line)-dnsaddr
First DNS server address (cannot use with dnsaddr)-dnsaddr1
Second DNS server address (cannot use with dnsaddr)-dnsaddr2
Has no value, indicates you want to configure the public Ethernet connection using
