Usage Guidelines

DNS relay is used to forward DNS requests and reply packets between the DNS client and DNS server. The DNS client sends a DNS request packet to the device on which DNS relay is enabled. The device sends the request packet to the DNS server and sends the reply packet to the DNS client. The device functions as the DNS relay to provide services of the DNS server. Users do not need to interact with the DNS server directly. This function simplifies route deployment and improves performance and security of the DNS server.

Example

# Enable DNS relay.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] dns relay enable

# Disable DNS relay.

<sysname> system-view
[sysname] undo dns relay enable
