Solved: domain server 255.255.255.255

hi

often when u type an unknown command in a cisco router you get the message

Translating "cisco"....domain server 255.255.255.255

the error message appears 4 times before you are taken back to the console.

this is irritating,and i was wondering if there is a way to stop the router from displaying the error message

Hi Friend,

Just issue this command "no ip domain-lookup" on global config mode and this will take care of this messages.

Hi,

yeah ANKUR is 100% right in what he has posted.

so what really causes the router to show the message,what is it trying to do.

Hi

the router is trying to do a DNS lookup on what you have typed in because it doesn't recognise what you have typed in as a command.

if you have "fat" fingers like me it really helps to use "no ip domain-lookup" :-)

Dont forget to issue " wr mem " after issuing "no ip-domain look up" command. If router reboots this command will be gone without " wr mem ".
