Disable "Translating ... Domain Server" Message - Actual Lookup

Alex Hamilton

Hello, 

I am having difficulty figuring out how to disable the translating message that is displayed on the console every time the router does an external DNS resolution. 

I am using Hurricane Electric's Tunnel Broker service, and due to having a dynamic WAN IP, I have to use the HTTP DynDNS update on my Cisco 1941. Part of that process is resolving the tunnelbroker domain to an IP address, and I get console messages EVERY time, and since I set the update to every 5 minutes, I get a lot of messages. I also find that unlike the rest of the messages that appear on their own line using the "logging synchronous" command, the dns ones tend to screw up my typing if I am working in the console at the same time. 

This is an example of the message: 

"Translating "ipv4.tunnelbroker.net"...domain server (206.248.154.22) (206.248.154.170)"

I have tried using "no logging console" as well as various other things, but the messages seems to appear no matter what I do. 

Any suggestions?

Also we can use Shift+control+6 to stop any comand on packet tracer.

 

Hello

You cannot always turn off domain -lookup so to stop the device from trying to telnet on any mistyped word and so to negate those pesky messages, so I usually disable the device from doing so on the console/vty lines.

 

line con 0/line vty x x
transport preferred none

Hello,

 

if you just want this message to not show up on your console, you can also configure a logging discriminator:

 

logging discriminator NO_TRANS msg-body includes Translating
logging console discriminator NO_TRANS
