Chapter 1 General Administration Tasks : Configuring DNS Servers

Configuring DNS Servers
The DNS server is configured and managed by an administrator. Refer to your third-party DNS server documentation for information on choosing a host machine and installing the server software.
To successfully enable a DNS server, you must have previously configured a DNS server on a host machine, and configured the DNS server settings on your P-7500.
Overview
A Domain Name System (DNS) server resolves server hostnames to the correct IP address. Residing on a separate host machine accessible by the TMA P-7500, the DNS server allows you to assign hostnames for network object IP addresses. Once configured, CLI commands that use the hostname parameter are directed to the configured DNS server for IP address resolution.
DNS Server CLI Commands
name-server
To provision a primary DNS server to resolve host names for the TMA P-7500, enter the name-server Global CONFIG command:
tibco(config)# name-server ip-addr
where ip-addr is the IP address for the DNS server, specified in the dotted decimal notation form nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.
no name-server
To de-provision an existing DNS server and delete all associated configuration values, enter the no name-server Global CONFIG command:
tibco(config)# no name-server
show name-server
To query the currently provisioned DNS server, enter the show name-server Global CONFIG command:
tibco(config)# show name-server
DNS Server Configuration Example
A sample session to provision a DNS server with an IP address of “192.120.1.1” is:
tibco(config)# name-server 192.120.1.1
WARNING: This will cause a reboot of the system
Do you want to continue (y/n)? y
tibco(config)#
A sample session to query the provisioned DNS server is:
tibco> show name-server
Name server: 192.120.1.1
