CLI Reference

config system dns-vdom

config system dns-vdom

Use this command to configure the System DNS resolver for non-root VDOMs and override Global DNS settings to set a DNS server IP per VDOM for more flexibility.

This functionality is only available in the non-root VDOM. The root VDOM defaults to inherit the Global DNS settings.

Note: The DNS settings per VDOM is also not available when VDOMs are in Share Network mode (ADOM mode) as all ADOMs will share the same network namespace.

Before you begin:
  • You must have VDOM enabled and have access to a non-root VDOM.
  • You must have a good understanding of DNS and knowledge of the remote DNS servers that can be used to communicate with Internet domain servers.

  • You must have Read-Write permission for System settings.

Syntax

config system dns-vdom

set dns-override {enable|disable}

set primary <class_ip>

set secondary <class_ip>

end

dns-override

Enable to apply the DNS settings configured for this non-root VDOM instead of inheriting from the Global DNS settings.

primary

Specify the IP address for the primary DNS server.

secondary

Specify the IP address for the secondary DNS server.

Example

config system dns-vdom

set dns-override enable

set primary 1.1.1.1

set secondary 1.1.1.2

end
