Specify Local System Domain And A List Of Domains; Dns With Traceroute - Dell Force10 MXL Blade Configuration Manual

Specify Local System Domain and a List of Domains

If you enter a partial domain, FTOS can search different domains to finish or fully qualify that partial
domain. A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is any name that is terminated with a period/dot. FTOS
searches the host table first to resolve the partial domain. The host table contains both statically configured
and dynamically learnt host and IP addresses. If FTOS cannot resolve the domain, it tries the domain name
assigned to the local system. If that does not resolve the partial domain, FTOS searches the list of domains
configured
