Specify local system domain and a list of domains
If you enter a partial domain, FTOS can search different domains to finish or fully qualify that partial
domain. A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is any name that is terminated with a period/dot. FTOS
searches the host table first to resolve the partial domain. The host table contains both statically configured
and dynamically learnt host and IP addresses. If FTOS cannot resolve the domain, it tries the domain name
assigned to the local system. If that does not resolve the partial domain, FTOS searches the list of domains
configured
To configure a domain name, use the following command in the CONFIGURATION mode:
To configure a list of domain names, use the following command in the CONFIGURATION mode:
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
ip domain-lookup
CONFIGURATION Enable dynamic resolution of host names.
ip name-server ip-address
[
ip-address2 ... ip-address6]
CONFIGURATION Specify up to 6 name servers. The order you entered the
servers determines the order of their use.
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
ip domain-name name CONFIGURATION Configure one domain name for the E-Series
Command Syntax Command Mode Purpose
ip domain-list name CONFIGURATION Configure names to complete unqualified host names.
Configure this command up to 6 times to specify a list of
possible domain names.
FTOS searches the domain names in the order they were
configured until a match is found or the list is exhausted.
