Configuring the DNS client
About this task
Configure the Domain Name Service to establish the mapping between an IP name and an IPv4 or
IPv6 address. DNS supports IPv4 and IPv6 addresses with no difference in
functionality or configuration using ACLI.
You can configure connection for up to three different DNS servers—primary, secondary and
tertiary. First the primary server is queried, and then the secondary, and finally the tertiary.
Procedure
1. Enter Global Configuration mode:
enable
configure terminal
2. Configure the DNS client:
ip domain-name WORD<0–255>
3. Optionally, add addresses for additional DNS servers:
ip name-server <primary|secondary|tertiary> WORD<0–46>
4. View the DNS client system status:
show ip dns
Example
