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.
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 the 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.
Command example:
The CLI command ip domain name yahoo.com configures 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.
