Usage guidelines
You can configure up to six DNS servers, including those with IPv6 addresses, in system view, and up to
six DNS servers on all interfaces of a device.
A DNS server configured in system view has a higher priority than one configured in interface view. A
DNS server configured earlier has a higher priority than one configured later in the same view. A DNS
server manually configured has a higher priority than one dynamically obtained through DHCP.
Running the undo dns server command in system view deletes all DNS servers configured in system view
and interface view. Running the undo dns server ip-address command in system view or interface view
deletes the specified DNS server in system view or interface view.
Examples
# Specify the DNS server 172.16.1.1 in system view.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] dns server 172.16.1.1
