set ip dns domain

Configures a default domain name for DNS queries. The WSS appends the default domain name to domain names or hostnames you enter in commands.

Syntax set ip dns domain name

name Domain name of between 1 and 64 alphanumeric characters with no spaces (for example, example.org).

Defaults None.

Access Enabled.

Usage To override the default domain name when entering a hostname in a CLI command, enter a period at the end of the hostname. For example, if the default domain name is example.com, enter chris. if the fully qualified hostname is chris and not chris.example.com.

Aliases take precedence over DNS. When you enter a hostname, WSS Software checks for an alias with that name first, before using DNS to resolve the name.

Examples The following command configures the default domain name example.com:

WSS# set ip dns domain example.com

Domain name changed
