Configuring DNS
You can configure the 3Com HomeConnect ADSL Modem Ethernet to access a
DNS server to resolve host names. This facility is used by the
ping, telnet, rlogin
and
update software ftp
commands.
DNS server entries are stored in the DNS Server Table.
To add a DNS server use the command:
add dns server <domain_name>
primary <ip_addr>
secondary <ip_addr>
The
<domain_name>
parameter can be a specific domain (i.e., 3com.com) or it
can be the wildcard character ’*’, representing all domains. You can specify
different DNS servers for different domains. When searching for the appropriate
DNS server, the modem first searches the local DNS server table for a entry for the
specific domain of the host name you are attempting to resolve. If no specific
entry is found, the wildcard entry is used.
To list the entries in the DNS Server Table use the command:
list dns servers
To delete an entry from the DNS Server Table use the command:
delete dns server <domain_name>
where domain name is the specific domain or the wildcard character ’*’.
IP Tools
