Command Usage

•Domain names are added to the end of the list one at a time.

•When an incomplete host name is received by the DNS service on this switch, it will work through the domain list, appending each domain name in the list to the host name, and checking with the specified name servers for a match.

•If there is no domain list, the domain name specified with the ip domain-namecommand is used. If there is a domain list, the default domain name is not used.
