Usage: set dnsservers [name=] [source=]dhcp|static [[address=]<IP address>|none] [[register=]none|primary|both] [[validate=]yes|no]

Parameters:

Tag Value name - The name or index of the interface. source - One of the following values: dhcp: Sets DHCP as the source for configuring DNS servers for the specific interface. static: Sets the source for configuring DNS servers to local static configuration. address - One of the following values: <IP address>: An IP address for a DNS server. none: Clears the list of DNS servers. register - One of the following values: none: Disables Dynamic DNS registration. primary: Register under the primary DNS suffix only. both: Register under both the primary DNS suffix, as well as under the connection-specific suffix. validate - Specifies whether validation of the DNS server setting will be performed. The value is yes by default.

Remarks: Sets DNS server configuration to either DHCP or static mode. Only when source is 'static', is the 'addr' option also available for configuring a static list of DNS server IP addresses for the specified interface. If Validate switch is yes, then the newly set DNS server is validated.

Examples:

set dnsservers name="Wired Ethernet Connection" source=dhcp set dnsservers "Wired Ethernet Connection" static 10.0.0.1 primary `
