Configuring a List
of Domain Names
Use the IP Service > DNS - General (Add Domain Name) page to configure a list of
domain names to be tried in sequential order.
Command Usage
◆ Use this page to define a list of domain names that can be appended to
incomplete host names (i.e., host names passed from a client that are not
formatted with dotted notation).
◆ If there is no domain list, the default domain name is used (see “Configuring
General DNS Service Parameters” on page 437). If there is a domain list, the
system will search it for a corresponding entry. If none is found, it will use the
default domain name.
