DNS Transaction Timeout Configuration

To configure DNS transaction timeout:

1. In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.

   ORACLE# configure terminal

2. Type system and press Enter to access the system-level configuration elements.

   ORACLE(configure)# system

3. Type network-interface and press Enter. The system prompt changes to let you know that you can begin configuring individual parameters.

   ORACLE(system)# network-interface
   ORACLE(network-interface)#

   From this point, you can configure network interface parameters. To view all network interface parameters, enter a ? at the system prompt.

4. dns-timeout—Enter the total time in seconds you want to elapse before a query (and its retransmissions) sent to a DNS server would timeout. The default is 11 seconds. The valid range is:

   • Minimum—1

   • Maximum—999999999.

     If a query sent to the primary DNS server times out, the backup1 DNS server is queried. If the query times out after the same period of time elapses, the query continues on to the backup2 DNS server.

5. Save and activate your configuration.
