Domain Name System (DNS) Client

The Domain Name Service (DNS) translates domain and host names to and from IP addresses. A DNS client resolves hostnames to IP addresses by querying assigned DNS servers for the appropriate IP address.

Configuration commands

(switch#) Enter a domain name in configuration mode (up to 64 alphanumeric characters):

ip domain-name NAME

(switch#) Add names to complete unqualified host names in configuration mode:

ip domain-list NAME

Expected results

  • Administrators can configure the DNS client.
  • The output of all commands is correct.
  • Administrators can ping the device.
