Configuring dynamic domain name resolution
To send DNS queries to a correct server for resolution, dynamic domain name resolution needs to be enabled and a DNS server needs to be configured.
In addition, you can configure a DNS suffix that the system automatically adds to the provided domain name for resolution.
Follow these guidelines when you configure dynamic domain name resolution:
You can configure up to six DNS servers, including those with IPv4 addresses on the switch.
You can specify up to ten DNS suffixes on the switch.
