Purpose
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.
Enabled by default.
(Optional) Displays information about DNS.
Exits configuration mode and returns to EXEC mode.
(Optional) Copies the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
