Specifications
CLEAR/PURGE Commands
3-6
Restrictions
• The CLEAR command does not remove gateway entries with active
connections. The PURGE command does remove gateway entries with active
connections because it affects only the permanent database.
• The HOST and NETWORK characteristics are not valid with the ALL
characteristic.
Examples: CLEAR/PURGE INTERNET GATEWAY
Local> CLEAR INTERNET GATEWAY ALL
This command deletes all Internet gateway entries from the access server
operational database.
Local> PURGE INTERNET GATEWAY 195.1.1.60 NETWORK 195.1.1.61
This command deletes the Internet gateway with the above Internet address and
network address from the access server permanent database.
INTERNET HOST
(privileged)
Syntax
Description
This privileged command deletes existing Internet hosts from the access server
Internet domain name system (DNS) database.
Keywords
ALL
Specifies that all hosts in the DNS cache will be deleted.
Whenever a CLEAR INTERNET HOSTS ALL or LEARNED command is
entered, the access server automatically re-learns the host names of secondary
name servers for the default domain and the root domain (if defined). It might
appear that the host names for these name servers are not cleared when you enter
the SHOW INTERNET HOST command, but in fact, the host names have been
cleared and relearned.
