Displaying DNS Server Information

To display DNS server information, use the following command:

show ip dns

The following example shows DNS server information on an WSS switch configured to use three DNS servers.

23x0# show ip dns

 

Domain Name: example.com

 

DNS Status: enabled

 

IP Address

-----------------------------------

10.1.1.1

(For information about the fields in the output, see the Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Software Command Reference.)

Configuring and Managing Aliases

An alias is a string that represents an IP address. You can use aliases as shortcuts in CLI commands. For example, you can configure alias pubs1 for IP address 10.10.10.20, and enter ping pubs1 as a shortcut for ping 10.10.10.20.

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.
