Model: TL-SG3452  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.1.4 Build 20220708 Rel.53227

It appears there's no option to configure name servers through either the CLI or the web interface. Furthermore, the user manual and CLI reference don't mention any related name-server configurations. This is quite fundamental, especially when needing to resolve host names, such as when setting up RADIUS or NTP endpoints. Does your firmware not have an onboard DNS resolver?

Re: How to set system-wide DNS servers?

@Clive_A That's just for setting the hostname of the switch, which isn't related to my question.

 

How do I change the main DNS settings on the system? I want to use fully qualified domain names in the switch settings, instead of just IP addresses.

 

Here are some examples from other vendors, just for context:

 

JUNOS:

 

BROCADE:

 

 

VYOS:

Hi @PRONETIVITY 

Set up your DNS server then. The switch does not support local DNS server.

@Clive_A 

 

My examples were client side, not server...

 

I am looking to configure a DNS client on the switch, so it can resolve host names.

 

Examples:

 

 

 

I find it hard to believe that the firmware has no DNS client onboard.

 

Having a DNS resolver is de facto standard.
