4.3.4 Setting the DNS Resolver Configuration
The NCL1170 implements Domain Name Server/Service (DNS) resolver software. Once
configured, you can use host names instead of IP addresses when you make a Telnet
connection from the NCL1170 console to other IP hosts on the network, or when you issue
ping or traceroute commands to test connectivity.
Adding DNS lists is optional on the NCL1170, but you can configure the NCL1170 to use a
maximum of five DNS servers. An NCL1170 is factory-configured with no DNS servers listed.
You can also configure the NCL1170 to include a domain name for your local IP network.
The following procedure describes how to configure the NCL1170 to implement DNS resolver
software and configure the NCL1170 domain name. Setting the DNS resolver configuration is
optional.
1. At the NCL1170> prompt, type <ip dns> to display the current DNS setup used by

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.
