Change Domain Name System attributes

You can change Domain Name System (DNS) settings if the DNS interface does not allow you to change all server instance autostart and debug levels at once.

You can use the character-based interface to change these settings for individual DNS server instances, or for all instances at once. Follow these steps to use CHGDNSA:
  1. At the command line, type CHGDNSA and press F4.
  2. On the Change DNS Server Attributes (CHGDNSA) page, type the name of a single server instance, or *ALL, and press Enter.
    The available server attribute options display: 
    Autostart server . . . . . . . . *SAME *YES, *NO, *SAME
Debug level . . . . . . . . . . *SAME 0-11, *SAME, *DFT
  3. Autostart To specify that the DNS servers selected should automatically start when TCP/IP is started, type *YES. If you do not want the server to start when TCP/IP is started, type *NO. To leave the attribute at its current settings, type *SAME.

    Debug level To change the debug level that the DNS servers selected should use, type a value between 0 and 11. To specify that the debug level should inherit the sever startup debug value, type *DFT. To leave the attribute at its current settings, type *SAME.

    When you have entered all your preferences, press Enter to set the DNS attributes.
