set ip dns domain

Configures a default domain name for DNS queries. The WSS appends the default domain name to domain names or

hostnames you enter in commands.

Syntax

set ip dns domain name

Defaults

None.

Access

Enabled.

Usage

To override the default domain name when entering a hostname in a CLI command, enter a period at

the end of the hostname. For example, if the default domain name is example.com, enter chris. if the fully

qualified hostname is chris and not chris.example.com.

Aliases take precedence over DNS. When you enter a hostname, WSS Software checks for an alias with that name first,

before using DNS to resolve the name.

Examples

The following command configures the default domain name example.com:

WSS# set ip dns domain example.com

Domain name changed
