dns command

Use this command to view and set the DNS configuration of the IMM.

Note

In a Flex System, DNS settings cannot be modified on the IMM. DNS settings are managed by the CMM.

Running the dns command with no options displays all DNS configuration information. The following table shows the arguments for the options.

Table 1. dns command.
The following table is a multi-row three column table consisting of the options, option descriptions, and associated values for the options.
Option	Description	Values
