Usage Guidelines
Usage Scenario
If you want to use static DNS for domain name resolution, you must run the ip host command to configure the mappings between host names and IP addresses first.
Precautions
When using the ip host command, note the following:
A VS allows you to configure a maximum of 1024 static DNS entries using the ip host command.
Each host name corresponds to only one IP address. If multiple IP addresses are assigned to a host, the latest configured IP address overrides the previous ones.
Example
# Set the IP address corresponding to host name RTA in the VPN named vpn1 to 10.110.0.2.

[*HUAWEI-vpn-instance-vpn1-af-ipv4] quit
[*HUAWEI-vpn-instance-vpn1] quit
