Domain Name Service
– 530 –
Configuring a List
of Name Servers
Use the IP Service > DNS - General (Add Name Server) page to configure a list of
name servers to be tried in sequential order.
Command Usage
◆ To enable DNS service on this switch, configure one or more name servers, and
enable domain lookup status (see
“Configuring General DNS Service
Parameters” on page 527 ).
◆ 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.
◆
If all name servers are deleted, DNS will automatically be disabled. This is done
by disabling the domain lookup status.
