A small resolver for IPv4 address records, so that clients such as NTP can be given a host name: "dns server <ip> [<ip>]", "dns lookup <name>" and "dns". Without a configured server it uses the one DHCP handed out. A query goes to the servers in turn every two seconds and gives up after six tries; answers with compressed names and CNAME records ahead of the address are understood. A name that already is a dotted address is taken without a query. The resolver sits in BANK3, the command line in BANK2 next to the helpers it uses. The System page shows and sets the servers.

DNS
The switch can resolve host names to IPv4 addresses, for the NTP client and for anything else that is given a name instead of an address.
dns server <ip> [<ip>] # one or two servers, 0.0.0.0 removes them
dns lookup <name> # resolve a name and print the address
dns # show the servers
Without a configured server the resolver uses the one handed out by DHCP. Only address records are looked up; a query goes to the servers in turn, every two seconds, and gives up after six tries. A name that already is a dotted address is taken as it is, without a query.
The DNS servers are set in the Network card of the System page as well. Settings made there or on the console are kept only once the configuration is saved.
