IP NAME SERVER

ip name-server

Overview This command adds IPv4 or IPv6 DNS server addresses. The DNS client on your
device sends DNS queries to IP addresses in this list when trying to resolve a host
name. Host names cannot be resolved until you have added at least one server to
this list. A maximum of three name servers can be added to this list.
If you are running VRF-lite, you can add IPv4 or IPv6 DNS server addresses for either
the global VRF instance or for a specific VRF instance. Host names cannot be
resolved from within a VRF instance until you have added at least one name-server
to that VRF instance.
The no variant of this command removes the specified DNS name-server address.
