Set DNS Configuration Figure 37 DNS Properties dialog box 2. Under DNS Options, complete the following: a. To enable DNS on the switch, select the DNS Client check box. To disable DNS on the switch, clear the check box. b. If you enable DNS, in the Local Hostname box, enter a valid local host name. 3. Under DNS Server, complete the following: a. From the Server Discovery list, select a method of DNS server discovery: • Static-Select this option to manually configure the list of DNS domain suffixes to be searched, enable the three DNS Server Address boxes and, optionally, define those values. • DHCP-Select this option to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv4. DHCP allows the switch to dynamically receive an IP address from a pool of addresses, instead of requiring it to have a static IP address. Use DHCP to acquire 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, in order to avoid an IP address conflict. DHCP can also be used to distribute information that is not otherwise discoverable; for example, the DNS server addresses. (If you select DHCP, the DNS Server Address boxes become unavailable.) • DHCPv6-Select this option to use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6. DHCPv6 can be used to statefully assign addresses if the network administrator needs more control over addressing. It can also be used to distribute information that is not otherwise discoverable; for example, the DNS server. (If you select DHCPv6, the DNS Server Address boxes become unavailable.)
