Configuring General DNS Settings

Use the DNS Settings page to enable the DNS feature, configure the DNS servers,
and set the default domain used by the switch.
Click IP Configuration > Domain Name System > DNS Settings.
In the DNS area, check Enable to designate the switch as a DNS client, which can
resolve DNS names into IP addresses through one or more configured DNS
servers.
If DNS is enabled, enter the DNS domain name used to complete unqualified host
names in the Default Domain Name field. The switch appends this to all non-fully
qualified domain names (NFQDNs) turning them into FQDNs.
Do not include the initial period that separates an unqualified name from the
NOTE
domain name (like cisco.com).
Click Apply. The DNS parameters are defined, and the Running Configuration is
updated.
In DHCP Domain Search List area, click Details to view the list of DNS servers
configured on the switch, including the static DNS server added by the user and all
dynamic DNS servers received from DHCPv4 and/or DHCPv6 servers.
Click Add to add a DNS server.
Enter the following information:
• IP Version—Select either Version 6 or Version 4 to define the IP address.
• DNS Server IP Address—Enter the IP address of the DNS server.
• Preference—Select the preference value for the DNS server. Each server
has a preference value, a lower value means a higher chance of being used.
Click Apply. The DNS server is defined, and the Running Configuration is updated.
