Domain Name System Configuration
The Domain Name System (DNS) commands are used for defining the primary and secondary
DNS servers on your local network, and for setting the default domain name served by the
switch services. DNS parameters must be configured prior to using hostname parameters with
the ping, traceroute, and TFTP commands.
