D-Link DWS-1008 CLI Manual 93
set ip dns domain
Configures a default domain name for DNS queries. The switch appends the default domain
name to domain names or hostnames you enter in commands.
Syntax: set ip dns domain name
name Domain name of between 1 and 64 alphanumeric characters with no spaces (for
example, example.org).
Defaults: None.
Access: Enabled.
Usage: To override the default domain name when entering a hostname in a CLI command,
enter a period at the end of the hostname. For example, if the default domain name is example.
com, enter chris. if the fully qualified hostname is chris and not chris.example.com.
Aliases take precedence over DNS. When you enter a hostname, MSS checks for an alias with
that name first, before using DNS to resolve the name.
Examples: The following command configures the default domain name example.com:
DWS-1008# set ip dns domain example.com
Domain name changed

set ip dns server
Specifies a DNS server to use for resolving hostnames you enter in CLI commands.
Syntax: set ip dns server ip-addr {primary | secondary}
ip-addr IP address of a DNS server, in dotted decimal or CIDR notation.
primary Makes the server the primary server, which MSS always consults first for
resolving DNS queries.
secondary Makes the server a secondary server. MSS consults a secondary server only if
the primary server does not reply.
