Configuring the Static Domain Name Resolution

Context

A static domain name resolution table is manually set up, describing the mappings between domain names and IP addresses. In addition, some common domain names are added to the table. Then, static domain name resolution can be performed according to the static domain name resolution table. When requiring the IP address corresponding to a domain name, the client firstly searches the static domain name resolution table for the specified domain name and obtains the corresponding IP address. In this manner, the efficiency of domain name resolution is improved. Static DNS entries are classified into IPv4 static DNS entries with the mapping between domain names and IPv4 addresses and IPv6 static DNS entries with the mapping between domain names and IPv6 addresses.

Procedure

  1. Configure the IPv4 static domain name resolution

    1. Run system-view

      The system view is displayed.

    2. Run ip host host-name ip-address

      IPv4 static DNS entries are configured.

      By default, no IPv4 static DNS entry is configured.

      Each host name can be mapped to only one IPv4 address. When multiple IPv4 addresses are mapped to a host name, only the latest configuration takes effect.

  2. Configure the IPv6 static domain name resolution

    1. Run system-view

      The system view is displayed.

    2. Run ipv6

      The IPv6 function is enabled.

      By default, a device is disabled from forwarding IPv6 unicast packets.

    3. Run ipv6 host host-name ipv6-address

      IPv6 static DNS entries are configured.

      By default, no IPv6 static DNS entry is configured.

      Each host name can be mapped to only one IPv6 address. When multiple IPv6 addresses are mapped to a host name, only the latest configuration takes effect.
