15.3(3)M	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.3(3)M.

Usage Guidelines

The clear ipv6 dhcp binding command is used as a server function.

A binding table entry on the DHCP for IPv6 server is automatically:

Created whenever a prefix is delegated to a client from the configuration pool.
Updated when the client renews, rebinds, or confirms the prefix delegation.
Deleted when the client releases all the prefixes in the binding voluntarily, all prefixes’ valid lifetimes have expired, or an administrator runs the clear ipv6 dhcp binding command.

If the clear ipv6 dhcp binding command is used with the optional ipv6-address argument specified, only the binding for the specified client is deleted. If the clear ipv6 dhcp binding command is used without the ipv6-address argument, then all automatic client bindings are deleted from the DHCP for IPv6 binding table. If the optional vrf vrf-name keyword and argument combination is used, only the bindings for the specified VRF are cleared.

Examples

When you configure the DHCPv6 server to detect conflicts, it uses ping. The client uses neighbor discovery to detect clients and reports to the server through a DECLINE message. If an address conflict is detected, the address is removed from the pool, and the address is not assigned until the administrator removes the address from the conflict list.

If you use the asterisk (*) character as the address parameter, DHCP clears all conflicts.

If the vrf vrf-name keyword and argument are specified, only the address conflicts that belong to the specified VRF will be cleared.

Examples

The following example shows how to clear all address conflicts from the DHCPv6 server database:


Router# clear ipv6 dhcp conflict *

client-identifier

To specify the unique identifier (in dotted hexadecimal notation) for a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client, use the client-identifier command in DHCP pool configuration mode. To delete the client identifier, use the no form of this command.

client-identifier unique-identifier

no client-identifier

Syntax Description


`unique-identifier`	The distinct identification of the client in 7- or 27-byte dotted hexadecimal notation. See the “Usage Guidelines” section for more information.

Command Default

No client identifier is specified.

Command Modes

DHCP pool configuration (dhcp-config)

Command History


Release	Modification
12.0(1)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

This command is valid for manual bindings only. DHCP clients require client identifiers instead of hardware addresses. The client identifier is formed by concatenating the media type and the MAC address. You can specify the unique identifier for the client in either of the following ways:

A 7-byte dotted hexadecimal notation. For example, 01b7.0813.8811.66, where 01 represents the Ethernet media type and the remaining bytes represent the MAC address of the DHCP client.
A 27-byte dotted hexadecimal notation. For example, 7665.6e64.6f72.2d30.3032.342e.3937.6230.2e33.3734.312d.4661.302f.31. The equivalent ASCII string for this hexadecimal value is vendor-0024.97b0.3741-fa0/1, where vendor represents the vendor, 0024.97b0.3741 represents the MAC address of the source interface, and fa0/1 represents the source interface of the DHCP client.

For a list of media type codes, refer to the “Address Resolution Protocol Parameters” section of RFC 1700, Assigned Numbers .

You can determine the client identifier by using the debug ip dhcp server packet command.

Examples

The following example specifies the client identifier for MAC address 01b7.0813.8811.66 in dotted hexadecimal notation:


Device(dhcp-config)# client-identifier 01b7.0813.8811.66

ddns [both]

no ddns

Syntax Description


both	(Optional) Both A and PTR RRs are updated.

Command Default

No DDNS updating is configured.

Command Modes

DDNS-update-method configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.3(8)YA	This command was introduced.
12.3(14)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.3(14)T.

Usage Guidelines

If Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to configure the IP address on the interface, a DHCP client may not perform both A and PTR RRs or any updates. Also, if the DHCP server notifies the client during the DHCP interaction that it will perform the updates, then the DHCP client will not perform the updates. The DHCP server can always override the client even if the client is configured to perform the updates.

If the interface is configured using DHCP and if the DDNS update method is configured on that interface, then the DHCP fully qualified domain name (FQDN) option is included in the DHCP packets between the client and the server. The FQDN option contains the hostname, which is used in the update as well as information about what types of updates the client has been configured to perform.

If the ddns keyword is specified, the A RRs only are updated, but if the ddns both keyword are specified, both the A and the PTR RRs are updated. Also, if the DHCP server returns the the FQDN option with an updated hostname, that hostname is used in the update instead.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a DHCP server to perform both A and PTR RR updates:


ip ddns update method unit-test
 ddns both

Related Commands


Command	Description
ip ddns update method	Enables DDNS as the update method and assigns a method name.

default-mapping-rule

default-mapping-ruleipv6-prefix/prefix-length

no default-mapping-rule

Syntax Description


`ipv6-prefix`/`prefix-mask`	The IPv6 address assigned to the interface and the length of the IPv6 prefix. The prefix-length is a decimal value that indicates how many of the high-order contiguous bits of the address comprise the prefix (the network portion of the address). A slash mark must precede the decimal value.

Command Default

Mapping rules are not enabled.

Command Modes

NAT64 MAP-T configuration (config-nat64-mapt)

Command History


Release	Modification
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S	This command was introduced.
Cisco IOS Release 15.5(2)T	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.5(2)T.

Usage Guidelines

MAP-T or Mapping of address and port (MAP) double stateless translation-based solution (MAP-T) provides IPv4 hosts connectivity to and across an IPv6 domain. MAP-T builds on existing stateless IPv4/IPv6 address translation techniques that are specified in RFC 6052, RFC 6144, and RFC 6145.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a default domain mapping rule:

Device(config)# nat64 map-t domain 89
Device(config-nat64-mapt)# default-mapping-rule 2001:0DB8:0:1::/64

Related Commands


Command	Description
nat64 map-t	Configures NAT64 MAP-T settings.

`address2...address8`	(Optional) Specifies up to eight addresses in the command line.

Command Default

No default behavior or values.

Command Modes

DHCP pool configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.0(1)T	This command was introduced.
12.2(33)SRA	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.2(33)SRA.
12.2SX	This command is supported in the Cisco IOS Release 12.2SX train. Support in a specific 12.2SX release of this train depends on your feature set, platform, and platform hardware.

Usage Guidelines

The IP address of the router should be on the same subnet as the client subnet. You can specify up to eight routers in the list. Routers are listed in order of preference (address1 is the most preferred router, address2 is the next most preferred router, and so on).

Examples

The following example specifies 10.12.1.99 as the IP address of the default router:


default-router 10.12.1.99

Related Commands


Command	Description
ip dhcp pool	Configures a DHCP address pool on a Cisco IOS DHCP server and enters DHCP pool configuration mode.

designated-gateway

To designate a specific device or interface in a domain for routing multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) announcement and query information, use the designated-gateway command in mDNS or interface mDNS configuration mode. To disable designated gateway status on a device or interface, use the no form of this command.

Command History


Release	Modification
Cisco IOS 15.2(2)E	This command was introduced.
Cisco IOS XE 3.6E	This command was integrated into the Cisco IOS XE 3.6E release.
15.2(1)SY	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.2(1)SY.
15.5(2)S	This command was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 15.5(2)S.
Cisco IOS XE Release 3.15S	This command was integrated into the Cisco IOS XE Release 3.15S.

Usage Guidelines

When multiple mDNS gateways are configured in a domain without a designated gateway, then queries and announcements are received by all the mDNS gateways in the link local domain. When you specify an mDNS gateway as the designated gateway, the designated gateway will give responses to queries for that domain; the other mDNS gateways do not respond since the other gateways know that the designated gateway will answer the query. In this way, duplicate responses are avoided.

Examples

The following example shows you how to specify an interface as the designated gateway with a TTL duration of 20 minutes:


Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
Device(config-if)# service-routing mdns-sd
Device(config-if-mdns-sd)# designated-gateway enable ttl 20
Device(config-if-mdns-sd)# exit

Related Commands

no device-role

Syntax Description


client	Sets the role of the device to client.
server	Sets the role of the device to server.

Command Default

The device role is client.

Command Modes

DHCPv6 guard configuration (config-dhcp-guard)

Command History


Release	Modification
15.2(4)S	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

The device-role command specifies the role of the device attached to the target (which can be an interface or VLAN) . The device role is primarily used to allow and disallow DHCP replies and DHCP advertisements when they are received on an interface with a device role other than server or relay.

Examples

The following example defines a DHCPv6 guard policy name as policy1, places the router in DHCPv6 guard configuration mode, and configures the device as the server:


Router(config)# ipv6 dhcp guard policy policy1
Router(config-dhcp-guard)# device-role server

Related Commands


Command	Description
ipv6 dhcp guard policy	Defines the DHCPv6 guard policy name.

dns forwarder

To add an address to the end of the ordered list of IP addresses for a Domain Name System (DNS) view to use when forwarding incoming DNS queries, use the dns forwarder command in DNS view configuration mode. To remove an IP address from the list, use the no form of this command.

dns forwarder [vrf vrf-name] forwarder-ip-address

no dns forwarder [vrf vrf-name] forwarder-ip-address

Syntax Description

vrf vrf-name

(Optional) The vrf-name argument specifies the name of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing and forwarding (VRF) instance of the forwarder-ip-address .

Note

If no VRF is specified, the default is the global VRF.

forwarder-ip-address

IP address to use when forwarding DNS queries handled using the DNS view.

Note

You can specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address for the forwarder IP address.

Command Default

Provided that DNS forwarding (configured by using the dns forwarding command) is enabled and the interface to use when forwarding incoming DNS queries is configured (if using the dns forwarding source-interface command) and not shut down, incoming DNS queries handled using the DNS view are forwarded to one of the DNS forwarding name servers.

If no forwarding name servers are configured for the DNS view, the device uses any configured domain name server addresses.

If there are no domain name server addresses configured either, the device forwards incoming DNS queries to the limited broadcast address (255.255.255.255) so that the queries are received by all hosts on the local network segment but not forwarded by devices.

Command Modes

DNS view configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.4(9)T	This command was introduced.
15.4(1)T	This command was modified. An IPv6 address can be specified for the `forwarder-ip-address` argument.

Usage Guidelines

This command can be entered multiple times to specify a maximum of six forwarding name servers. After six forwarding name servers have been specified, additional forwarding name servers cannot be specified unless an existing entry is removed.

To display the list of DNS forwarding name server addresses configured for the DNS view, use the show ip dns view command.

Note

DNS resolving name servers and DNS forwarding name servers are configured separately. The domain name-server and domain name-server interface commands are used to specify the DNS resolving name servers (the ordered list of IP addresses to use when resolving internally generated DNS queries handled using the DNS view). The dns forwarder command specifies the forwarder addresses (the ordered list of IP addresses to use when forwarding incoming DNS queries handled using the DNS view). Earlier to this command being introduced, the resolving name server list was used for resolving internal DNS queries and forwarding DNS queries received by the DNS server. For backward compatibility, if there are no forwarding name servers configured, the resolving name server list will be used instead.

Examples

The following example shows how to add three IP addresses to the list of forwarder addresses for the DNS view named user3 that is associated with the VRF vpn32:


Device(config)# ip dns view vrf vpn32 user3
 
Device(cfg-dns-view)# dns forwarder 192.168.2.0
 
Device(cfg-dns-view)# dns forwarder 192.168.2.1
 
Device(cfg-dns-view)# dns forwarder 192.168.2.2

The following example shows how to add the IP address 192.0.2.3 to the list of forwarder addresses for the DNS view named user1 that is associated with the VRF vpn32, with the restriction that incoming DNS queries will be forwarded to 192.0.2.3 only if the queries are from the VRF named vpn1:


Device(config)# ip dns view vrf vpn32 user1
 
Device(cfg-dns-view)# dns forwarder vrf vpn1 192.168.2.3

Related Commands


Command	Description
dns forwarding	Enables forwarding of incoming DNS queries by the DNS view.
dns forwarding source-interface	Specifies the interface to use when forwarding incoming DNS queries handled using the DNS view.
domain name-server	Specifies the ordered list of IP addresses to use when resolving internally generated DNS queries handled using the DNS view.
domain name-server interface	Specifies the interface from which the device can learn (through either DHCP or PPP interaction on the interface) a DNS resolving name server address for the DNS view.
show ip dns view	Displays information about a particular DNS view or about all configured DNS views, including the number of times the DNS view was used.

dns forwarding

To enable forwarding of incoming Domain Name System (DNS) queries handled using the DNS view, use the dns forwarding command in DNS view configuration mode. To disable forwarding and revert to the default configuration, use the no form of this command.

dns forwarding [retry number | timeout seconds]

no dns forwarding [retry | timeout]

Syntax Description


retry	(Optional) Specifies the time to retry forwarding a DNS query.
`number`	(Optional) Number of retries. The range is from 0 to 100.
timeout	(Optional) Specifies the timeout waiting for response to a forwarded DNS.
`seconds`	(Optional) Timeout in seconds. The range is from 1 to 3600.

Command Default

The default value is inherited from the global setting configured using the ip domain lookup global configuration command. However, the dns forwarding command for the DNS view does not have a reciprocal side effect on the setting configured by the ip domain lookup command.

Command Modes

DNS view configuration (cfg-dns-view)

Command History


Release	Modification
12.4(9)T	This command was introduced.
15.0(1)M	This command was modified. The retry `number` and timeout `seconds` keywords and arguments were added.

Usage Guidelines

This command enables forwarding of incoming DNS queries handled using the DNS view.

To display the DNS forwarding setting for a DNS view, use the show ip dns view command.

If you configure the no domain lookup command for a DNS view while the dns forwarding command has not been disabled for that view, then the dns forwarding command setting will appear in the show ip dns view command output in order to make it clear that DNS forwarding is still enabled.

If you configure the no ip domain lookup global configuration command, however, the no dns forwarding setting is automatically configured also, in order to be backward compatible with the global command form.

Note

DNS lookup and DNS forwarding are configured separately. The domain lookup command enables the resolution of internally generated DNS queries handled using the DNS view. The dns forwarding command enables the forwarding of incoming DNS queries handled using the DNS view. By default, domain lookup and DNS forwarding are both enabled for a view. If you then configure the no domain lookup command, DNS forwarding is still enabled. However, if you instead use the older Cisco IOS command no ip domain lookup to disable domain lookup for the global default view, then DNS forwarding is disabled automatically. This is done for backward compatibility with the functionality of the no ip domain lookup global configuration command.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable forwarding of incoming DNS queries handled using the DNS view named user3 that is associated with the VRF vpn32:


Router(config)# ip dns view vrf vpn32 user3
 
Router(cfg-dns-view)# dns forwarding

Related Commands


Command	Description

ip domain lookup	Enables the IP DNS-based hostname-to-address translation.
show ip dns view	Displays information about a particular DNS view or about all configured DNS views, including the number of times the DNS view was used.

dns forwarding source-interface

To specify the interface to use when forwarding incoming Domain Name System (DNS) queries handled using the DNS view, use the dns forwarding source-interface command in DNS view configuration mode. To remove the specification of the source interface for a DNS view to use when forwarding DNS queries, use the no form of this command.

dns forwarding source-interface interface

no dns forwarding source-interface

Syntax Description


`interface`	Router interface to use when forwarding DNS queries.

Command Default

No interface is specified for forwarding incoming DNS queries handled using the DNS view, so the router selects the appropriate source IP address automatically, according to the interface used to send the packet, when the query is forwarded.

Command Modes

DNS view configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.4(9)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command specifies the interface to use when forwarding incoming DNS queries handled using the DNS view.

To display the interface configured by this command, use the show ip dns view command.

Tip

To list all the interfaces configured on the router or access server, use the show interfaces command with the summary keyword. Use the appropriate interface specification, typed exactly as it is displayed under the Interface column of the show interfaces command output, to replace the interface argument in the dns forwarding source-interface command.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show interfaces command used with the summary keyword:

Command	Description
domain-name	Configures a domain name for a DHCP for IPv6 client.
ipv6 dhcp pool	Configures a DHCP for IPv6 configuration information pool and enters DHCP for IPv6 pool configuration mode.

domain list

To add a domain name to the end of the ordered list of domain names used to complete unqualified hostnames (names without a dotted-decimal domain name) in Domain Name System (DNS) queries handled using the DNS view, use the domain list command in DNS view configuration mode. To remove a name from the domain search list, use the no form of this command.

domain list domain-name

no domain list domain-name

Syntax Description

domain-name

Domain name to add or delete from the domain search list.

Note

Do not include the initial period that separates an unqualified name from the domain name.

Command Default

No domain list is defined for the DNS view.

Command Modes

DNS view configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.4(9)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command adds a domain name to the end of the domain search list for the DNS view.

Note

The domain list and domain name commands are similar, except that the domain list command can be used to define a list of domain names for the view, each to be tried in turn. If DNS lookup is enabled for the DNS view but the domain search list (specified using the domain list command) is empty, the default domain name (specified by using the domain name command) is used instead. If the domain search list is not empty, the default domain name is not used.

To display the list of domain names used to complete unqualified hostnames in DNS queries received by a DNS view, use the show hosts command or the show ip dns view command.

Examples

The following example shows how to add two domain names to the list for the DNS view named user3 that is associated with the VRF vpn32:


Router(config)# ip dns view vrf vpn32 user3
 
Router(cfg-dns-view)# domain list example1.com
 
Router(cfg-dns-view)# domain list example1.org

The following example shows how to add two domain names to the list for the DNS view and then delete one of the domain names from the list:


Router(cfg-dns-view)# domain list example2.com
 
Router(cfg-dns-view)# domain list example2.org
 
Router(cfg-dns-view)# no domain list example2.net

Related Commands


Command	Description
domain name	Specifies a single default domain name to use to complete unqualified hostnames in internally generated DNS queries handled using the DNS view.
show hosts	Displays the default domain name, the style of name lookup service, a list of name server hosts, and the cached list of hostnames and addresses specific to a particular DNS view or for all configured DNS views.
show ip dns view	Displays information about a particular DNS view or about all configured DNS views, including the number of times the DNS view was used.

domain lookup

To enable the IP Domain Name System (DNS)-based hostname-to-address translation for internally generated DNS queries handled using the DNS view, use the domain lookup command in DNS view configuration mode. To disable domain lookup for hostname resolution, use the no form of this command.

domain lookup

no domain lookup

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

The default value is inherited from the global setting configured using the ip domain lookup global command. However, the domain lookup DNS view command does not have a reciprocal side effect on the setting configured by the ip domain lookup global command.

Command Modes

DNS view configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.4(9)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command enables DNS-based hostname-to-address translation for internally generated DNS queries handled using the DNS view.

To display the DNS lookup setting for a DNS view, use the show ip dns view command.

If you configure no dns forwarding for a DNS view while domain lookup has not been disabled for that view, then the domain lookup setting will appear in the show ip dns view command output in order to make it clear that domain lookup is still enabled.

If you configure the no ip domain lookup global command, however, the no domain lookup setting is automatically configured also, in order to be backward compatible with the global command form.

Note

DNS lookup and DNS forwarding are configured separately. The domain lookup command enables the resolution of internally generated DNS queries handled using the DNS view. The dns forwarding command enables the forwarding of incoming DNS queries handled using the DNS view. By default, both domain lookup and DNS forwarding are both enabled for a view. If you then configure no domain lookup , DNS forwarding is still enabled. However, if you instead uses the older Cisco IOS command no ip domain lookup to disable domain lookup for the global default view, then DNS forwarding is disabled automatically. This is done for backward compatibility with the functionality of the no ip domain lookup global command.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable IP DNS-based hostname-to-address translation in the DNS view named user3 that is associated with the VRF vpn32:


Router(config)# ip dns view vrf vpn32 user3
 
Router(cfg-dns-view)# domain lookup

domain name-server

To add a name server to the list of Domain Name System (DNS) name servers to be used for a DNS view to resolve internally generated DNS queries, use the domain name-server command in DNS view configuration mode. To remove a DNS name server from the list, use the no form of this command.

domain name-server [vrf vrf-name] name-server-ip-address

no domain name-server [vrf vrf-name][name-server-ip-address]

Syntax Description

vrf vrf-name

(Optional) The vrf-name argument specifies the name of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) routing and forwarding (VRF) instance of the forwarder-ip-address .

Note

If no VRF is specified, the default is the global VRF.

name-server-ip-address

IP address of a DNS name server.

Note

You can specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address for the DNS name server.

Command Default

No IP address is explicitly added to the list of resolving name servers for this view, although an IP address can be added to the list if dynamic name server acquisition is enabled. If the list of resolving name servers is empty, the device will send the query to the limited broadcast address 255.255.255.255 when this view is used.

Command Modes

DNS view configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.4(9)T	This command was introduced.
15.4(1)T	This command was modified. An IPv6 address can be specified for the `name-server-ip-address` argument.

Usage Guidelines

This command can be entered multiple times to specify a maximum of six resolving name servers. After six resolving name servers have been specified, additional resolving name servers cannot be specified unless an existing entry is removed.

This method of explicitly populating the list of resolving name servers is useful in an enterprise network where the population of available DNS servers is relatively static. In an Internet service provider (ISP) environment, where primary and secondary DNS server addresses can change frequently, the device can learn a DNS server address through either DHCP or PPP on the interface. To configure the dynamic acquisition of DNS resolving name server addresses, use the domain name-server interface command. Regardless of the method or methods used to populate the list of DNS resolving name servers for the view, no more than six resolving name servers are maintained for the view.

To display the list of DNS resolving name server IP addresses configured for a DNS view, use the show hosts command or the show ip dns view command.

Note

The DNS resolving name servers and DNS forwarding name servers are configured separately. The domain name-server and domain name-server interface commands are used to specify the DNS resolving name servers (the ordered list of IP addresses to use when resolving internally generated DNS queries for the DNS view). The dns forwarder command specifies the forwarder addresses (the ordered list of IP addresses to use when forwarding incoming DNS queries for the DNS view). If there is no DNS forwarder configuration in a view, then the domain name server list will be used when forwarding DNS queries. This is done for backward compatibility with the ip name-server global command.

Examples

The following example shows how to specify the hosts at 192.168.2.111 and 192.168.2.112 as the name servers for the DNS view named user3 that is associated with the VRF vpn32:


Device(config)# ip dns view vrf vpn32 user3
 
Device(cfg-dns-view)# domain name-server 192.168.2.111
 
Device(cfg-dns-view)# domain name-server 192.168.2.112

domain name-server interface interface

no domain name-server interface interface

Syntax Description


`interface`	Interface on which to acquire the IP address of a DNS name server that the DNS view can use to resolve internally generated DNS queries. The interface must connect to another router on which the DHCP agent or the PPP agent has been configured to allocate the IP address of the DNS server.

Command Default

No interface is used to acquire the DHCP or PPP address to be used for a DNS view to resolve internally generated DNS queries.

Command Modes

DNS view configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.4(9)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command specifies the interface from which to acquire (through DHCP or PPP interaction on the interface) the IP address of a DNS server to add to the list of DNS name servers used to resolve internally generated DNS queries for the DNS view.

The dynamic acquisition of DNS resolving name server addresses is useful in an Internet service provider (ISP) environment, where primary and secondary DNS server addresses can change frequently. To explicitly populate the list of resolving name servers in an enterprise network where the population of available DNS servers is relatively static, use the domain name-server command.

Note

The DNS resolving name servers and DNS forwarding name servers are configured separately. The domain name-server and domain name-server interface commands are used to specify the DNS resolving name servers (the ordered list of IP addresses to use when resolving internally generated DNS queries for the DNS view). The dns forwarder command specifies the forwarder addresses (the ordered list of IP addresses to use when forwarding incoming DNS queries for the DNS view). If there is no DNS forwarder configuration in a view, then the domain name server list will be used when forwarding DNS queries. This is done for backward compatibility with the ip name-server global command.

Tip

To list all the interfaces configured on the router or access server, use the show interfaces command with the summary keyword. Use the appropriate interface specification, typed exactly as it is displayed under the Interface column of the show interfaces command output, to replace the interface argument in the domain name-server interface command.

Examples

The following is sample output from the show interfaces command used with the summary keyword:


Router# show interfaces summary

The following example shows how to specify a list of name servers for the DNS view named user3 that is associated with the VRF vpn32. First, the list of name server addresses is cleared, then five DNS server IP addresses are added to the list. Finally, FastEthernet slot 0, port 0 is specified as the interface on which to acquire, by DHCP or PPP interaction, a sixth DNS server IP address.

domain round-robin

To enable round-robin rotation of multiple IP addresses associated with a name in the hostname cache used by the DNS view, use the domain round-robin command in DNS view configuration mode. To disable round-robin functionality for the DNS view, use the no form of this command.

domain round-robin

no domain round-robin

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Command Default

Round-robin rotation of multiple IP addresses associated with a name in the hostname cache is disabled for the DNS view.

Command Modes

DNS view configuration

Command History


Release	Modification
12.4(9)T	This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command enables round-robin rotation such that each time a hostname in the internal cache is accessed, the system returns the next IP address in the cache, rotated such that the second IP address in the list becomes the first one and the first one is moved to the end of the list. For a more detailed description of round-robin functionality, see the description of the ip domain round-robin global command in the Cisco IOS IP Addressing Services Command Reference .

To display the cached list of hostnames and addresses specific to a particular DNS view or for all configured DNS views, use the show hosts command. To define static hostname-to-address mappings in the global hostname cache or VRF hostname cache for the specified DNS view, use the ip host command. To display the round-robin setting for the DNS view, use the show ip dns view command.

Examples

The following example shows how to define the hostname www.example.com with three IP addresses and then enable round-robin rotation for the default DNS view associated with the global VRF. Each time that hostname is referenced internally or queried by a DNS client sending a query to the Cisco IOS DNS server on this system, the order of the IP addresses associated with the host www.example.com will be changed. Because most client applications look only at the first IP address associated with a hostname, this results in different clients using each of the different addresses and thus distributing the load among the three different IP addresses.


Router(config)# ip host view www.example.com 192.168.2.100 192.168.2.200 192.168.2.250
 
Router(config)# ip dns view default

When multiple mDNS gateways are configured in a domain without a designated gateway, then queries and announcements are received by all the mDNS gateways in the link local domain. When you specify an mDNS gateway as the designated gateway, the designated gateway will give responses to queries for that domain; the other mDNS gateways do not respond since the other gateways know that the designated gateway will answer the query. In this way, duplicate responses are avoided.

Examples

The following example shows you how to specify an interface as the designated gateway with a TTL duration of 20 minutes:


Device> enable
Device# configure terminal
Device(config)# interface ethernet 0/1
Device(config-if)# service-routing mdns-sd
Device(config-if-mdns-sd)# designated-gateway enable ttl 20
Device(config-if-mdns-sd)# exit

Use this command form..

To..

add url-string

Add or change a mapping between a hostname and an IP address.

You must specify the URL to be used to add or change a mapping between a hostname and an IP address. The url-string argument takes the following form:

http://userid:password @domain-name/update-folder-name /update?system= system-name &hostname= hostname &myip= myipaddr

userid and password —Strings for the organization website that you use for performing the A and PTR RRs updates.
domain-name —String for the organizational URL that you are using for the updates; for example www.Cisco.com.
update-folder-name —String of the folder name within the organizational website in which your updates are stored.
update?system =system-name --Update system (method) being used; for example, dydns is DDNS and dyn is EasyDNS.

Note

Before entering the question mark (?) character, press the control (Ctrl) key and the v key together on your keyboard. This will allow you to enter the ? without the software interpreting the ? as a help query.

&hostname= hostname-- Hostname to update.
&myip =myipaddr --IP address with which the specified hostname is associated, respectively.

Note

There are other special character strings that can be entered into the url-string . For example, if <s> is entered into the string, and when the update is processed, the IP address of the server to which the update is being sent is substituted at that location.

The list of available special characters and their purpose are given below:

<a>—Substitutes the address being updated.
<h>—Substitutes the hostname being updated.
<s>—Substitutes the IP address of the server to which the update is being sent.
<q>—Substitutes a question mark character ("?").
<o>—Substitutes an open angle bracket ("<").
<c>—Substitutes a close angle bracket (">").

remove url-string

Remove a mapping between a hostname and an IP address.

You must specify the URL to be used to remove a mapping between a hostname and an IP address. The url-string argument takes the same form as the one shown in the add keyword description.

Examples

The following example shows how to specify the DynDNS.org to process the updates:


ip ddns update method unit-test
 http 
  add http://myuserid:secret@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=
mywebsite&myip=10.10.10.10

The following are examples of URLs that can be used to update some HTTP DNS update services. These URLs are correct to the best of the knowledge of Cisco but have not been tested in all cases. Where the word “USERNAME:” appears in the URL, your account username at the HTTP site should be used. Where the word “PASSWORD” appears in the URL, your password for that account should be used:

Examples


http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=<h>&myip=<a>
!Requires “interval max 28 0 0 0" in the update method definition.

Examples


http://cgi.tzo.com/webclient/signedon.html?TZOName=<h>&Email=USERNAME&TZOKey=PASSWORD&IP
Address=<a>

Examples


http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@members.easydns.com/dyn/ez-ipupdate.php?action=edit&myip=<a>&
host_id=<h>

Examples


http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@www.justlinux.com/bin/controlpanel/dyndns/jlc.pl?direst=1&
