Managing DNS Relay Function
11.2.17.1
Configuring DNS Relay Configuration Page
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.
