ip name-server


Specifies the IP address of up to 6 name servers to resolve DNS names.

Syntax: [no] ip name-server server-address1 server-address2...server-address6]

server-address1

IP address of a name server.

server-address2...server-address6

IP addresses of additional name servers.

Description: Domain name servers are systems responsible for matching fully qualified domains with their IP address.

Use the ip name-server command to specify up to six name servers to be used for address resolution. The command may be used multiple times as long as the total number of name servers does not exceed 6. An error is generated if more than six name servers are specified.

Use the no ip name-server command to delete an IP address from the list of name servers.

Factory Default: No name server addresses are specified.

Command Mode: Configuration.

Example 1: In the following example, the ip name-server command specifies two addresses to be used to resolve DNS addressing and the show hosts command displays the new setting:

router#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

router(config)#ip name-server 10.1.1.230 10.5.1.240

router(config)#end

router#show hosts

Default domain is avici.com

Domain list: avici.com, avici.webhost.com

Name/address lookup uses domain service

Name servers are 10.1.1.230, 10.5.1.240



Host Flags Age Type Address(es)

testbed24 (perm, OK) ** IP 10.1.2.24
