I’m using the support nslookup function in the ssh shell on my B One 5G. It doesn’t seem to like the names I use for my network devices. I use simple one level names, like:
name
This works most of the time, but sometimes something get confused, and doesn’t like the lack of a dot. So I sometimes put in “name.” Which I think is a well formed FQDN.
However in the ssh shell, the nslookup tool doesn’t look like it likes either form:
> support nslookup google.com
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address 1: 127.0.0.1 localhost
Name: google.com
Address 1: 142.251.41.142 pnorda-aq-in-f14.1e100.net
> support nslookup name
Error: Illegal parameter.
> support nslookup name.
Error: Illegal parameter.
(Substituting here for the actual domain name I use for this unit.)
I’m suspecting it finds the lack of an embedded dot a problem, which I think it shouldn’t be.

A separate question, and why I got to this point, can you see which server the unit’s DNS server looked up the name from. I was just reviewing the configuration on the unit, and as far as I can see, I haven’t configured the name I’m using to access the unit, but it still finds it. The unit on the other end of a SpeedFusion pipe has the name configured, but I can’t see how that record gets from the remote unit to the local unit.
