Configuring switch “A” with the domain name and the IP address of a DNS server for the domain
enables the switch to use host names assigned to IP addresses in the domain to perform
ping
and
traceroute
actions on the devices in the domain. To summarize:
With the above already configured, the following commands enable
ping
and
traceroute
with the host
name
docserver
to reach the document server at 10.28.229.219.
