What is swDNSResState?

This object turns the switch's built-in DNS resolver on or off, choosing between enabled and disabled. When disabled, the switch can no longer translate hostnames to IP addresses locally, so features that reference domain names (like NTP or syslog servers) must use raw IP addresses instead. For example, an admin might set this to disabled(2) on a switch that never needs name resolution, then re-enable it once a DNS server is configured for hostname-based syslog targets.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.85.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DNSResolver-MIB::swDNSResState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.85.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DNSResolver-MIB::swDNSResState.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.171.12.85.1.1.1 i <value>
