Configuring domain suffixes
The list of domain suffixes is used to resolve an IP address starting with the first entry in the list.
The domain suffix is a string appended to a host name that is used to help resolve its IP address. For example, a host name of myname might not be resolved. However, if the string myloc.mycompany.com is an element in the domain suffix table, then there will be an attempt to resolve myname.mloc.mycompany.com also.
To configure a domain suffix entry, use these steps:
- In the navigation area, click HMC Management.
- In the work area, click Change network settings. The Customize Network Settings window opens.
- Click the Name Services tab.
- Enter a string to be used as a domain suffix entry.
- Click Add to add it to the list.
