This example shows a sample configuration on a router configured for basic DNS lookup: Sample Basic DNS Lookup Configuration This feature makes it easier to identify a router because the router is displayed by name rather than by its router ID or neighbor ID.

Your router can be configured to use DNS lookups if you wish to use the ping or traceroute commands with a host name rather than an IP address.
