Table 58: DNS Global Configuration Fields
Field Description
Admin Mode Select Enable or Disable from the pulldown menu to set the administrative
status of DNS Client. The default is Disable.
Default Domain Name Enter the default domain name for DNS client messages. The name should be
no longer than 255 characters. When the system is performing a lookup on an
unqualified hostname, this field is provided as the domain name (e.g., if
default domain name is .com and the user enters hotmail, then hotmail is
changed to hotmail.com to resolve the name).
By default, no default domain name is configured in the system.
Retry Number Enter the number of times to retry sending DNS queries. The valid values are
from 0 to 100. The default value is 2.
Response Timeout Enter the number of seconds to allow a DNS server to respond to a request
before issuing a retry. Valid values are 0 to 3600. The default value is 3.
Domain List Enter a domain list to define the domain to use when performing a lookup on
an unqualified hostname. Each name must be no more than 256 characters.
Multiple default domain names can be configured using the default domain-
name list.
If there is no domain list, the default domain name configured is used.
