Netgear M4100-50G (GSM7248v2h2) - 46‐port GE + 4 GE Combo L2 Managed Switch Guía De Administador

This section describes the Domain Name System (DNS) feature. The DNS protocol maps a 
host name to an IP address, allowing you to replace the IP address with the host name for IP 
commands such as a ping and a traceroute, and for features such as RADIUS, DHCP relay, 
SNTP, SNMP, TFTP, SYSLOG, and UDP relay.

You can obtain the DNS server IP address from your ISP or public DNS server list. DNS is 
used to resolve the host’s IP address. It enables a static host name entry to be used to 
resolve the IP address. The following are examples of how the DNS feature is used.

The following example shows how to specify two DNS servers (that is, two IP addresses for 
DNS servers) and to resolve an IP address using the DNS server. The example is shown as 
CLI commands and as a Web interface procedure.
