The Domain Name System (DNS) Configuration commands are used for defining the primary and
secondary DNS servers on your local network, and for setting the default domain name served by the
switch services. DNS parameters must be configured prior to using hostname parameters with the ping,
traceroute, and tftp commands.
The following table describes the Domain Name System (DNS) Configuration commands.

on the HP 10GbE switch.
BOOTP relay is turned off by default.
