Domain Name Server (Dns); Displaying The Dns Domain Name - Avaya 3500 series Getting Started

Configuring the switch using ACLI

Domain Name Server (DNS)

You can use the Domain Name Server (DNS) client to ping or Telnet to a host server or to a
host by name.
To use this feature, you must configure at least one DNS. You can also configure a default
domain name. If you configure a default domain name, that name is appended to host names
that do not contain a dot. The default domain name and addresses are saved in NVRAM.
The host names for ping and Telnet cannot be longer than 63 alphanumeric characters, and
the default DNS domain name cannot be longer than 255 characters.
You can also use the ping command to specify additional ping parameters, including the
number of ICMP packets to be sent, the packet size, the interval between packets, and the
timeout. You can also set the ping to continuous, or you can set a debug flag to obtain extra
debug information.
