Page 102 highlights

Network DNS configuration The Network Properties dialog box has two tabs: IP and DNS. Click the DNS tab to open the Network Properties DNS dialog box (Figure 56). Use the Network Properties DNS dialog box to enable the DNS Client on the switch and the DNS server to map domain names to IP addresses. Table 15 describes the network DNS configuration parameters. Table 15 Network Properties dialog box-DNS fields Field Description DNS Client Local Hostname Server Discovery Select this option to enable the Domain Name Service client. Enter the name of the local host. Choose one of the following methods by which to assign the IP address: • Static-Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Network Properties dialog box. • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)-Acquires the IP configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the DHCP client attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the previous lease cannot be used, no IP address is assigned to this switch to avoid an IP address conflict. • DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6)-Acquires the IP configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the DHCP client attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the previous lease cannot be used, no IP address is assigned to this switch to avoid an IP address conflict. DNS Server Addresses Enter the IP address of the DNS server. Search List Discovery Search List Domain Names Choose one of the following discovery methods for the search list: • Static • DHCP • DHCPv6 Suffix that is appended to the user-specified hostname for the search. 102 Managing Switches
