Chapter 38: Domain Name Service Commands
These commands are used to configure Domain Naming System (DNS) services.
Entries can be manually configured in the DNS domain name to IP address mapping
table, default domain names configured, or one or more name servers specified to
use for domain name to address translation.
Note that domain name services will not be enabled until at least one name server is
specified with the
ip name-server
command and domain lookup is enabled with the
ip domain-lookup
command.
