Troubleshooting DNS Resolver Configuring switch "A" with the domain name and the IP address of a DNS server for the domain enables the switch to use host names assigned to IP addresses in the domain to perform ping and traceroute actions on the devices in the domain. To summarize: Entity: Identity: DNS Server IP Address 10.28.229.10 Domain Name (and Domain Suffix for Hosts in pubs.outdoors.com the Domain) Host Name Assigned to 10.28.229.219 by the docservr DNS Server Fully Qualified Domain Name for the IP address docservr.pubs.outdoors.com Used By the Document Server (10.28.229.219) Switch IP Address 10.28.192.1 Document Server IP Address 10.28.229.219 With the above already configured, the following commands enable a DNScompatible command with the host name docserver to reach the document server at 10.28.229.219. ProCurve(config)# ip dns server-address 10.28.229.10 ProCurve(config)# ip dns domain-name pubs.outdoors.com Figure C-28.
