6.2.3.5 Managing DNS Relay
6.2.3.5.1. Configuring DNS Relay
The DNS protocol controls the Domain Name System (DNS), a distributed database with which
you can map host names to IP addresses. When you configure DNS on your switch, you can
substitute the host name for the IP address with all IP commands, such as ping, telnet,
traceroute, and related Telnet support operations. To keep track of domain names, IP has
defined the concept of a domain name server, which holds a cache (or database) of names
mapped to IP addresses. To map domain names to IP addresses, you must first identify the
host names, specify the name server that is present on your network, and enable the DNS.
