DNS Configuration
Overview
The Domain Name System (DNS) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. When a domain name is used, DNS service translates the name into the corresponding IP address. If one DNS server does not know how to translate a particular domain name, it gathers information from other Domain Name Systems to obtain the correct IP address.
Support for In-band Management over default VRF
OcNOS offers support for DNS over default and management VRFs via in-band management interface & OOB management interface, respectively.
The feature can be enabled to run on default and management VRF simultaneously. By default, it runs on management VRF.
