Dynamic Domain Name Resolution Configuration Example - HP 5920 Series Configuration Manual

# Use the ping host.com command to verify that the device can use static domain name resolution to
resolve domain name host.com into IP address 10.1.1.2.

Network requirements
As shown in
rather than an IP address, and to request the DNS server on the network for an IP address by using
dynamic domain name resolution. The IP address of the DNS server is 2.1.1.2/16 and the DNS server has
a com domain, which stores the mapping between domain name host and IP address 3.1.1.1/16.
Configure dynamic domain name resolution and the domain name suffix com on the device that serves
as a DNS client so that the device can use domain name host to access the host with the domain name
host.com and the IP address 3.1.1.1/16.

Configuration procedure
Before performing the following configuration, make sure that the device and the host can reach each
other, and that the IP addresses of the interfaces are configured as shown in
This configuration may vary with DNS servers. The following configuration is performed on a PC running
Windows Server 2000.
Configure the DNS server:
