ip dns host

Syntax

ip dns host <HOST-NAME> <IP-ADDR> [ vrf <VRF-NAME> ]
 
no ip dns host <HOST-NAME> <IP-ADDR> [ vrf <VRF-NAME> ]

Description

Associates a static IP address with a hostname. The DNS client returns this IP address instead of querying a DNS server for an IP address for the hostname. Up to six hosts can be defined. If no VRF is defined, the default VRF is used.
