(usr-tc) dns server assignment in PPP
I am having trouble with one of my TCH's assigning the dns servers as part of the PPP negotiation. The other chassis's all do it fine, but I can't tell what the difference in the configuration is. SHOW PPP lists the correct dns servers on all the chassis. Any ideas as to what I should look for?

We do it like: set ppp DNS_USAGE system add dns server x.y.z.a preference 1 add dns server z.y.z.b preference 2 list dns servers and sh ppp to make sure it all looks right. ... but you could also do it like: set ppp DNS_USAGE ppp set ppp PPPDNS_PRIMARY x.y.z.a set ppp PPPDNS_SECONDARY x.y.z.b sh ppp then says: DNS configuration Usage: PPP (I guess?) Primary PPP DNS Server address: x.y.z.a Secondary PPP DNS Server address: x.y.z.b Hope this helps. Marshall Morgan Internet Doorway, Inc. (aka NETDOOR)

The hiper arc show ppp settings, have the IP address of DNS server and also a setup where you can tell if the IP address that the hiper arc should assign is the Systems DNS servers or the specific dns server mentioned for PPP users The option is DNS configuration usage - it can either be System or PPP or NONE. If set to none - you will not get DNS, if set PPP and if there is no PPP DNS server address setup - again no DNS server, if set to system the the HiPer arc's DNS server IP will be given out. Again for all this to work you have to make sure that the client does request DNS during PPP - Most of the clients do. regards krish On Wed, 2 Feb 2000, Mark Thornton wrote:

The problem was that all of my chassis's dns usage were set to system, not PPP. I never bothered to set the dns server in the newest chassis because I never do a domain name lookup from the arc. I never noticed the impact of the dns usage parameter. I kept resetting the ppp dns server but didn't understand why that wasn't working. Thanks to all who responded and pointed this out.
