Resolution of Host Names

Domain name service (DNS) maps host names to IP addresses. This feature simplifies commands such as Telnet and FTP by allowing you to enter a name instead of an IP address.

Dynamic resolution of host names is disabled by default. Unless you enable the feature, the system resolves only host names entered into the host table with the ip host command.

In a dual stack setup, the system sends both A ( for IPv4 — RFC 1035) and AAAA ( for IPv6 — RFC 3596) record requests to a DNS server even if you configure only the ip name-server command.

The following sections describe DNS and the resolution of host names.

Name server, Domain name, and Domain list are VRF specific. The maximum number of Name servers and Domain lists per VRF is six.
