Ip Name-Server - Allied Telesis SwitchBlade x908 Series Software Reference Manual

ip name-server

This command adds the IP address of a DNS server to the device's list of servers. The DNS
client on your device sends DNS queries to devices on this list when trying to resolve a DNS
hostname. Your device cannot resolve a hostname until you have added at least one server to
this list. There is no limit on the number of servers you can add to the list.
When your device is using its DHCP client for an interface, it can receive Option 6 from the
DHCP server. This option appends the name server list with more DNS servers. See
Chapter 70, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Introduction
information about DHCP and DHCP options.
The no form removes the DNS server from the list of servers.
