•Can be a local name or a fully qualified name that includes the domain name.
Periods at the ends of names are ig no red.
On a MAX unit, the DNS table provides additional information about each entry. The
information is in the following two fields, which the unit updates when the system matches the
table entry with a hostname not found by the remote server:
•# Reads—The number of reads since the unit created the entry. The unit updates this field
each time it finds a local name query match in the local DNS table.
•Time of Last Read.
You can check the list of hostnames and IP addresses in the table by entering the
terminal-server Show DNStab command.
Figure 9-8 shows an example of a DNS table on a MAX.

Configuring the local DNS table
To enable and configure the local DNS table:
1Display the Ethernet > Mod Config > DNS profile.
2Set the List Attempt parameter to either Yes or No.
3Set the List Size parameter to specify the list size.
4Set Enable Local DNS Table parameter to Yes.
The default is No.
5Set the Loc.DNS Tab Auto Update parameter to either Yes or No.
6Exit the profile and, at the exit prompt, select the exit and accept option.
Entering hostnames and IP addresses in the local DNS table
To enter IP addresses in a local DNS table, you use the DNS table editor from the terminal
server. While the editor is in use, the system cannot look up addresses in the table or perform
automatic updates. A table entry is one of the eight table indexes. It includes the hostname, IP
address (or addresses), and information fields.
