Specifying the Local System Domain and a List of
Domains
If you enter a partial domain, Dell Networking OS can search dierent domains to nish or fully qualify that partial domain.
A fully qualied domain name (FQDN) is any name that is terminated with a period/dot. Dell Networking OS searches the host table rst to
resolve the partial domain. The host table contains both statically congured and dynamically learnt host and IP addresses. If Dell
Networking OS cannot resolve the domain, it tries the domain name assigned to the local system. If that does not resolve the partial
domain, Dell Networking OS searches the list of domains congured.
To congure a domain name or a list of domain names, use the following commands.
• Enter up to 63 characters to congure one domain name.
CONFIGURATION mode
ip domain-name name
• Enter up to 63 characters to congure names to complete unqualied host names.
CONFIGURATION mode
