Usage Guidelines

The system allows a maximum of three DNS servers and tells you when you try to request more.

The appliance tries to access DNS servers, as needed, in the order they were configured. Also, if you remove the first host in a list of three, the second host becomes the first host. A newly added host always goes to the bottom of the list.

Examples

To add a Domain Name Server with the IP address, 172.30.56.89:

(config) # ip name-server 172.30.56.89
