Configuring The Domain Name Service (Dns); Specifying A Default Domain Name; Adding Hosts To The Host Table - Lantronix SCS Reference Manual

IP

6.3.1 Configuring the Domain Name Service (DNS)

To use the DNS for name resolution, use the Set/Define IP Nameserver command.
Local.>> DEFINE IP NAMESERVER 192.0.1.166
To specify a backup nameserver, use the Set/Define IP Secondary Nameserver command. If the first
nameserver isn't available, the request will be sent to the secondary server.

6.3.2 Specifying a Default Domain Name

A default domain name may be configured using the Set/Define IP Domain command. This domain name
will be automatically appended to any host name during name resolution.
Local>> DEFINE IP DOMAIN ctcorp.com
In the example above, the default domain name is ctcorp.com. If user Bob typed telnet athena, the SCS
would automatically append the domain suffix and attempt to resolve athena.ctcorp.com.
If a hostname is entered that ends with a period ("."), the SCS will not add the domain suffix to the hostname
for resolution.

6.3.3 Adding Hosts to the Host Table

If DNS is not available on your network, hosts may be manually entered in the local host table using the Set/
Define Hosts command.
Local>> DEFINE HOST athena 192.0.1.15
To display the current entries in the host table, use the Show Hosts command.
Local>> SHOW HOSTS
IP Address
192.0.1.15
192.0.1.123
To remove an entry from the host table, use the Clear/Purge Hosts command.
Local>> PURGE HOST mercury
