Domain Name System Concepts

The Domain Name System (DNS) protocol maps a host name to an IP address, allowing you
to replace the IP address with the host name for IP commands such as a ping and a
traceroute, and for features such as RADIUS, DHCP relay, SNTP, SNMP, TFTP, SYSLOG,
and UDP relay.
You can obtain the DNS server IP address from your ISP or public DNS server list. DNS is
used to resolve the host's IP address. It enables a static host name entry to be used to
resolve the IP address. The following are examples of how the DNS feature is used.

Specify Two DNS Servers

The following example shows how to specify two DNS servers (that is, two IP addresses for
DNS servers) and to resolve an IP address using the DNS server. The example is shown as
CLI commands and as a web interface procedure.

CLI: Specify Two DNS Servers

(Netgear Switch)#config
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip name-server 12.7.210.170 219.141.140.10
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#ip domain-lookup
(Netgear Switch) (Config)#exit
(Netgear Switch)#ping www.netgear.com
Send count=3, Receive count=3 from 206.82.202.46
