ip name-server — global

Synopsis

ip name-server address [address]
no ip name-server address

Configures

DNS server name

Default

None

Description

This command sets the name servers that the router uses for DNS queries. You can specify the addresses of up to 6 different DNS servers on one command line. Because you are configuring domain name service, be sure to use an IP address and not a hostname for the server!

Example

The first line configures one name server; the second line configures six name servers:

ip name-server 10.10.2.5
ip name-server 10.10.1.5 10.10.2.5 10.10.3.5 10.10.4.5 10.10.5.5 10.10.6.5
