DNS

This section describes the Domain Name System (DNS) feature. The DNS protocol maps a host name to an IP address, allowing you to replace the IP address with the host name for IP commands such as a ping and a traceroute, and for features such as RADIUS, DHCP Relay, SNTP, SNMP, TFTP, SYSLOG, and UDP Relay.

You can obtain the DNS server IP address from your ISP or public DNS server list.

Overview

DNS:

•Is used to resolve the host’s IP address

•Enables a static host name entry to be used to resolve the IP address

Examples

The following are examples of how the DNS feature is used.
