Cisco 3900 Series, Cisco 2900 Series, and Cisco 1900 Series Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 Software Configuration Guide
describes the default DNS configuration.
Default DNS Configuration
configure terminal
ip domain-name name
ip name-server server-address1 [server-address2 ... server-address6]
ip domain-lookup
end
show running-config
copy running-config startup-config
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Defines a default domain name that the software uses to complete unqualified
hostnames (names without a dotted-decimal domain name).
Do not include the initial period that separates an unqualified name from the
domain name.
At boot time, no domain name is configured. However, if the wireless device
configuration comes from a BOOTP or DHCP server, then the default domain
name might be set by the BOOTP or DHCP server (if the servers were
configured with this information).
Specifies the address of one or more name servers to use for name and address
resolution.
You can specify up to six name servers. Separate server addresses with a space.
The first server specified is the primary server. The wireless device sends DNS
queries to the primary server first. If that query fails, the backup servers are
queried.
Default Setting
Disabled.
None configured.
No name server addresses are configured.
