Domain Name (DNS) Settings
When a name of a host is given as a parameter to a CLI command that expects a host name or an
IP address, the system translates the name to an IP address according to the following:
Step 1 If the name is in a dotted decimal notation (that is, in the format x.x.x.x), it is directly
translated to an IP address it represents.
Step 2 If the name does not contain the dot character (.), the system looks it up in the IP Host
table. If the name is found on the table, it is mapped to the corresponding IP address. The
IP host table can be configured using the command ip host.
Step 3 If the name does not contain the dot (.) character, and the domain name function is
enabled (See the ip domain-lookup command), and a default domain name is specified
(See the ip domain-name command), the default domain name is appended to the given
name to form a fully qualified host name. This, in turn, is used to perform a DNS query
translating the name to an IP address.
Step 4 Otherwise, if the domain name function is enabled, the name is considered to be fully
qualified, and is used to perform a DNS query translating the name to an IP address.
The following commands are relevant to DNS settings:
• ip name-server
• ip domain-name
• no ip domain-name
• ip domain-lookup
• show hosts
