via the designated name servers.

CLI References

•

“show dns cache”

on page 585

Command Usage

•

Servers or other network devices may support one or more connections via multiple IP
addresses. If more than one IP address is associated with a host name via information
returned from a name server, a DNS client can try each address in succession, until it
establishes a connection with the target device.

Parameters
These parameters are displayed:

•

No. – The entry number for each resource record.

•

Flag – The flag is always “4” indicating a cache entry and therefore unreliable.

•

Type – This field includes CNAME which specifies the host address for the owner, and ALIAS
which specifies an alias.

•

IP – The IP address associated with this record.

•

TTL – The time to live reported by the name server.

•

Host – The host name associated with this record.

Interface
To display entries in the DNS cache:

1. Click IP Service, DNS, Cache.
