10.28.192.1Switch IP address

10.28.229.219Document server IP address

With the above already configured, the following commands enable a DNS-compatible command

with the host name docserver to reach the document server at 10.28.229.219.

Figure 241 Example of ping and traceroute execution for the network in Figure 239 (page 447)

As mentioned under “DNS resolver operation” (page 445), if the DNS entry configured in the switch

does not include the domain suffix for the desired target, you must use the target host's fully qualified

domain name with DNS-compatible commands. For example, using the document server in

Figure 239 (page 447) as a target:

is configured

Viewing the current DNS configuration

The show ip command displays the current domain suffix and the IP address of the highest priority

DNS server configured on the switch, along with other IP configuration information. If the switch

configuration currently includes a non-default (non-null) DNS entry, it will also appear in the show

run command output.
