 — Makes the server the primary server, which MSS always 

consults first for resolving DNS queries.

„

 — Makes the server a secondary server. MSS consults a 

secondary server only if the primary server does not reply.

Usage — You can configure a WX switch to use one primary DNS server 
and up to five secondary DNS servers. 

Examples — The following commands configure a WX switch to use a 
primary DNS server and two secondary DNS servers:

WX1200# set ip dns server 10.10.10.50/24 primary
success: change accepted.
WX1200# set ip dns server 10.10.20.69/24 secondary
