Chapter 4: Utility Commands 237
DNS Client Commands
These commands are used in the Domain Name System (DNS), an Internet
directory service. DNS is how domain names are translated into IP addresses.
When enabled, the DNS client provides a hostname lookup service to other
components of FASTPATH.
ip domain lookup Use this command to enable the DNS client.
no ip domain
lookup
Use this command to disable the DNS client.
ip domain name Use this command to define a default domain name that FASTPATH software
uses to complete unqualified host names (names with a domain name).
By
default, no default domain name is configured in the system.
name may not be
longer than 255 characters and should not include an initial period. This
name
should be used only when the default domain name list, configured using the
ip
domain list command,
is empty.
The CLI command
ip domain name yahoo.com will configure yahoo.com as a
default domain name. For an unqualified hostname xxx, a DNS query is made to
find the IP address corresponding to xxx.yahoo.com.
