Setting the DNS
Configuration with vicfg-dns
The
vicfg-dns
command lists and specifies the DNS configuration of your
host. You
can call the command without command-specific options to list the existing DNS
configuration.
You can also use
esxcli network ip
dns
for DNS management.
If you
try to change the host or domain name or the DNS server on hosts that use DHCP,
an error results.
In network environments where a
DHCP server and a DNS server are available,
hosts are
automatically assigned DNS names.
In network environments where
automatic DNS is not available or not desirable, you can configure static DNS
information, including a host name, primary name server, secondary name server,
and DNS suffixes.
