Resolution

 

NOTE: Take snapshot of the VLR appliance before executing the below steps.

Please execute the below command on the VLSR command line post taking the backup of the resolved.conf file.

cd /etc/systemd

cp resolved.conf resolved.conf_bkp

1. Edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
2. Find the line "#DNSStubListener=yes", modify it by removing hash symbol "DNSStubListener=no" to disable the local DNS stub listener, and save the file.

             systemctl restart systemd-resolved
