Description
Select Enable or Disable from the pulldown menu to set the administrative status of
DNS Client. The default is Disable.
Enter the default domain name for DNS client messages. The name should be no
longer than 255 characters. When the system is performing a lookup on an unqualified
hostname, this field is provided as the domain name (e.g., if default domain name is
. com and the user enters hotmail , then hotmail is changed to hotmail.com to resolve
the name).
By default, no default domain name is configured in the system.
Enter the number of times to retry sending DNS queries. The valid values are from 0
to 100. The default value is 2.
Enter the number of seconds to allow a DNS server to respond to a request before
issuing a retry. Valid values are 0 to 3600. The default value is 3.
Enter a domain list to define the domain to use when performing a lookup on an
unqualified hostname. Each name must be no more than 256 characters. Multiple
default domain names can be configured using the default domain-name list.
If there is no domain list, the default domain name configured is used.
