Configuring Domain Name Service

Domain Name System (DNS) converts user-defined domain names into IP
addresses. Each time a domain name is assigned, the DNS service translates the
name into a numeric IP address. For example, www.ipexample.com is translated
into 192.87.56.2. DNS servers maintain databases of domain names and their
corresponding IP addresses.
When a client device designates this switch as a DNS server, the client will attempt
to resolve host names into IP addresses by forwarding DNS queries to the switch,
and waiting for a response.
You can manually configure entries in the DNS table used for mapping domain
names to IP addresses, configure default domain names, or specify one or more
name servers to use for domain name to address translation.
When configuring the DNS parameters:
• Enable DNS service on this switch, first configure one or more name servers, and
then enable domain lookup status.
• To append domain names to incomplete host names received from a DNS client
(i.e., not formatted with dotted notation), you can specify a default domain name or
a list of domain names to be tried in sequential order.
