Chapter 3 Configuring the NCL1135
APCD–NC003–1.0 21
Setting the DNS Resolver Configuration
The NCL1135 implements DNS resolver software. Once you configure the NCL1135, you can
use host names instead of IP addresses when you make a Telnet connection from the
NCL1135 console to other IP hosts on the network, or when you send ping messages to test
connectivity.
Adding DNS server lists is optional on the NCL1135, but you can configure the NCL1135 to
use a maximum of five DNS servers. An NCL1135 comes factory-configured with no DNS
servers in the list.
You can also configure the NCL1135 with a domain name for your local IP network.
The following procedure describes how to configure the NCL1135 to implement DNS resolver
software and configure the NCL1135 domain name. Setting the DNS resolver configuration is
optional.
1. At the NCL1135> prompt, type <ip dns> to display the current DNS setup used by
the NCL1135.
2. To add a DNS Server, type <ip dns server add
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd > where
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address of the DNS Server.
3. To delete a DNS Server, type <ip dns server del aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd > where
aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd is the IP address of the DNS Server.
4. To set the domain name for your local IP network, type <ip dns domain
domain_name > where domain_name is the name for your local IP network.
