Configuring DNS Parameters

The SSR can be configured to specify DNS servers, which supply name services for DNS requests. You can specify up to three DNS servers.

To configure DNS servers, enter the following command in Configure mode:

Configure a DNS server.

system set dns server <IPaddr> [,<IPaddr>[,<IPaddr>]]

You can also specify a domain name for the SSR. The domain name is used by the SSR to respond to DNS requests.

To configure a domain name, enter the following command in Configure mode:

Configure a domain name.

system set dns domain <name>

Configuring IP Services (ICMP)

The SSR provides ICMP message capabilities including ping and traceroute. Ping allows you to determine the reachability of a certain IP host. Traceroute allows you to trace the IP gateways to an IP host.

To access ping or traceroute on the SSR, enter the following commands in Enable mode:

Specify ping.

ping <hostname-or-IPaddr> packets <num> size <num>

 

wait <num> [flood] [dontroute]

 

 

Specify traceroute.

traceroute <host> [max-ttl <num>] [probes <num>]

 

[size <num>] [source <secs>] [tos <num>]

 

[wait-time <secs>] [verbose] [noroute]
