Dynamic Domain Name Resolution Configuration Example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 1-4 , the IP address of the DNS server is 2.1.1.2/16 and the name suffix is com. The
mapping between domain name host and IP address 3.1.1.1/16 is stored in the com domain.
Dynamic domain name resolution and the domain name suffix are configured on the Switch that serves
as a DNS client, and thus the Switch can use domain name host to access the host with the domain
name host.com and the IP address 3.1.1.1/16.
