Troubleshooting

DNS Resolver

As mentioned under “Basic Operation” on page C-80,if the DNS entry configured in the switch does not include the domain suffix for the desired target, then you must use the target host’s fully qualified domain name with DNS- compatible commands. For example, using the document server in Figure C-

27 as a target:

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.
