Figure 5. Example Network Domain
Configuring switch “A” with the domain name and the IP address of a DNS server for the domain enables the switch to use host names assigned to IP addresses in the domain to perform ping and traceroute actions on the devices in the domain. To summarize:
Entity: | Identity: |
DNS Server IP Address | 10.28.229.10 |
Domain Name (and Domain Suffix for Hosts in | pubs.outdoors.com |
the Domain) |
|
Host Name Assigned to 10.28.229.219 by the | docservr |
DNS Server |
|
Fully Qualified Domain Name for the IP address | docservr.pubs.outdoors.com |
Used By the Document Server (10.28.229.219) |
|
Switch IP Address | 10.28.192.1 |
Document Server IP Address | 10.28.229.219 |
|
|
With the above already configured, the following commands enable ping and traceroute with the host name docserver to reach the document server at 10.28.229.219.
ProCurve(config)# ip dns
ProCurve(config)# ip dns
