3640 Router as dns server

bradbuys31 · ‎01-27-2010

I have found a lot of documentation that would alow a router to be a dns server. The command to turn on the server is "ip dns server" This command does not exist in the IOS version I am running. I am running the following c3640-i-mz.124-25b.bin

ip dns server

To enable the Domain Name System (DNS) server on a router, use the ip dns server command in global configuration mode. To disable the DNS server, use the no form of the command.

Hi Brad

I was going through feature navigator, and found that "dynamic dns support for Cisco IOS" is available only on IP PLUS and ENTERPRISE IOS images.. I see you are running c3640-i-mz.124-25b.bin which is a IP BASE image...

c3640-js-mz.124-25b.bin

c3640-is-mz.124-25b.bin

are the IOS code levels you need to look for.. but this would incur a cost to upgrade IPBASE to IP PLUS, and i really dont think it is a useful investment to buy this image, for such a small functionality to work...

Hope this helps.. all the best
