12.5. Using DNS settings
WiFly contains a built in DNS client. If the IP address of the host is not specified (i.e it is set to 0.0.0.0),
the DNS protocol will be used. WiFly will automatically attempt to resolve the host address
stored with the command:
set dns name <string> sets the name of the host for TCP/IP connections.
Once the address is resolved an automatic connection will be made.
To manually lookup the IP address of a host, use this command:
Lookup <string> string is the hostname.
12.6. Utilizing the Backup IP address/connect function
WiFly contains a feature for auto-retry and redundancy. If the first IP host address connection fails, the
backup IP will be used (if set). If this fails (or is not set) then the first DNS name will be used. If this fails
(or is not set) then the Backup DNS name will be used.
To set the backup IP address, use:
set ip backup <address>
To set the backup DNS name, use:
set dns backup <string>
