Domain Name Service (DNS) on this switch allows host names to be
mapped to IP addresses using static table entries or by redirection to other
name servers on the network. When a client device designates this switch
as a DNS server, the client will attempt to resolve host names into IP
addresses by forwarding DNS queries to the switch, and waiting for a
response.
You can manually configure entries in the DNS table used for mapping
domain names to IP addresses, configure default domain names, or specify
one or more name servers to use for domain name to address translation.

To enable DNS service on this switch, first configure one or more name
servers, and then enable domain lookup status.
To append domain names to incomplete host names received from a
DNS client (i.e., not formatted with dotted notation), you can specify a
default domain name or a list of domain names to be tried in sequential
order.
If there is no domain list, the default domain name is used. If there is a
domain list, the system will search it for a corresponding entry. If none
is found, the default domain name is used.
When an incomplete host name is received by the DNS service on this
switch and a domain name list has been specified, the switch will work
through the domain list, appending each domain name in the list to the
host name, and checking with the specified name servers for a match.
When more than one name server is specified, the servers are queried
in the specified sequence until a response is received, or the end of the
list is reached with no response.
Note that if all name servers are deleted, DNS will automatically be
disabled.
