Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide, Release 4.x
4-6
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Creates a VRF and enters VRF configuration mode.
(Optional) Defines the default domain name server that
Cisco NX-OS uses to complete unqualified host
names. You can optionally define a VRF that Cisco
NX-OS uses to resolve this domain name server if it
cannot be resolved in the VRF that you configured this
domain name under.
Cisco NX-OS appends the default domain name to any
host name that does not contain a complete domain
name before starting a domain-name lookup.
(Optional) Defines additional domain name servers
that Cisco NX-OS can use to complete unqualified
host names. You can optionally define a VRF that
Cisco NX-OS uses to resolve this domain name server
if it cannot be resolved in the VRF that you configured
this domain name under.
Cisco NX-OS uses each entry in the domain list to
append that domain name to any host name that does
not contain a complete domain name before starting a
domain-name lookup. Cisco NX-OS continues this for
each entry in the domain list until it finds a match.
(Optional) Defines up to six name servers. The address
can be either an IPv4 address or an IPv6 address.
You can optionally define a VRF that Cisco NX-OS
uses to reach this name server if it cannot be reached
in the VRF that you configured this name server under.
(Optional) Enables DNS-based address translation for
this VRF. Enabled by default.
