Modifying the DNS Client Configuration
You can modify how the router makes requests to the DNS server, for example,
how often requests are repeated and how long it waits between requests.
Using the BCC
To modify how the router sends DNS requests, navigate to the dns prompt and
enter the following parameters:
time-out
<
integer
>
integer
is a value from 1 to 60 seconds.
max-retransmissions
<
integer>
integer
is a value from 0 to 15 seconds.
max-outstanding-queries
<
integer>
integer
is a value from 1 to 100.
tos
<
service_type>
service_type
is either normal or lowdelay.
domain-name
<
name>
name
is an alphanumeric character string representing the default domain name
the router uses when trying to reach a DNS server.
use-default-domain
<
state
>
state
is either enabled or disabled. This parameter is valid only if you have
specified the domain-name parameter.
hosts-file
<
path
>
path
is the name of or path to a file in flash memory that contains a list of default
host name/IP address pairs. If you specify a host file, the DNS client first checks
whether the host name exists locally in the host file. If not, the DNS client sends
an address-resolution request to one of the configured DNS servers. The larger the
host file, the slower the lookup.
An example showing commands that modify the DNS client configuration
follows.
