Utility Commands 
270
M4200 and M4300 Series ProSAFE Managed Switches 
ip name server
Use this command to configure the available name servers. Up to eight servers can be 
defined in one command or by using multiple commands. The parameter server-addres
s
 
is a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address of the server. The preference of the servers is determined by 
the order they were entered.
no ip name server
Use this command to remove a name server.
ip name source-interface
Use this command to specify the physical or logical interface to use as the DNS client (IP 
name) source interface (source IP address) for the DNS client management application. If 
configured, the address of source Interface is used for all DNS communications between the 
DNS server and the DNS client. The selected source-interface IP address is used for filling 
the IP header of management protocol packets. This allows security devices (firewalls) to 
identify the source packets coming from the specific switch. If a source-interface is not 
specified, the primary IP address of the originating (outbound) interface is used as the source 
address. If the configured interface is down, the DNS client falls back to its default behavior.
no ip name source-interface
Use this command to reset the DNS source interface to the default settings.
ip host
Use this command to define static host name-to-address mapping in the host cache. The 
parameter name is host name and ipaddress is the IP address of the host. The host name 
can include 1–255 alphanumeric characters, periods, hyphens, underscores, and 
non-consecutive spaces. Hostnames that include one or more space must be enclosed in 
quotation marks, for example “lab-pc 45”.
