Adding a Domain to the DNS List

356
The switch allows you to create a list of domains to save typing the portion
of a domain name on the CLI. Once you add domains to the DNS list, the
switch appends a domain name to incomplete host names in DNS
requests. Each domain in the DNS list is tried in DNS lookups. The first
entry added to the DNS list is checked first. Then the second DNS list
entry is checked and so forth.
For example, to add the top-level domains ".com" and ".net" to the DNS
list, use the following commands:
awplus(config)# ip domain-list com
awplus(config)# ip domain-list net
If you enter the command
request for "alliedtelesis.com." When no match was found, the switch tries
"alliedtelesis.net."
To view the entries in the DNS list, use the command:
awplus# show ip domain-name
Here is an example of the information the command displays.
DNS default domain: alliedtelesis.com
DNS domain list:
domain com
domain net
domain oh.us
