1. Click Devices > Chassis > View Details > Settings > Network. The Network configuration section is expanded. 2. In the General Settings section, you can enable or disable NIC, Register with DNS, and Auto Negotiation. By default, the Enable NIC check box is selected. If you enable Register with DNS, then enter the DNS Name of the chassis that you want to register with a DNS server. You can access OME-Modular using the existing FQDN even after the Register with DNS option is disabled in the application. This is because the earlier option remains in the Network cache or the DNS Server cache, based on the configured Time to live (TTL). NOTE: You can only access the FQDN temporarily. NOTE: Clear the cache in the DNS after the Register with DNS is disabled, to prevent logging in with the FQDN address. NOTE: If the Register with DNS option is enabled, you cannot modify the Enable VLAN option. 3. Enter the DNS Name. The DNS name can have a maximum of 58 characters. The first character must be an alphanumeric character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), followed by numeric characters or a hyphen (-). 4. Enable or disable the Use DHCP for DNS Domain Name option and turn the Auto Negotiation on or off. If the Use DHCP for DNS Domain Name is disabled, then enter the DNS Domain Name. NOTE: You can enable Use DHCP for DNS Name only if IPv4 or IPv6 has DHCP configured. OME-Modular obtains its DNS domain name from either a DHCP or DHCPv6 server when Use DHCP for DNS Name is enabled. If Auto Negotiation is false or disabled, you can choose network port speed. NOTE: Setting Auto Negotiation to false and choosing a network port speed may result in the chassis losing link to the network switch in Top of Rack, or to the neighbor chassis, if running MCM. It is recommended that the Auto Negotiation is set to true for most use cases. Table 3.

configuration section is expanded.

In the

General Settings

section, you can enable or disable NIC,

, and

. By default,

the

Enable NIC

check box is selected.

If you enable

, then enter the

DNS Name

of the chassis that you want to register with a DNS server.

You can access OME-Modular using the existing FQDN even after the

option is disabled in the

application. This is because the earlier option remains in the Network cache or the DNS Server cache, based on the

configured Time to live (TTL).

NOTE:

You can only access the FQDN temporarily.

NOTE:

Clear the cache in the DNS after the

is disabled, to prevent logging in with the FQDN

address.

NOTE:

If the

option is enabled, you cannot modify the

Enable VLAN

option.

Enter the

DNS Name

. The DNS name can have a maximum of 58 characters. The first character must be an alphanumeric

character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), followed by numeric characters or a hyphen (-).

Enable or disable the

Use DHCP for DNS Domain Name

option and turn the

Auto Negotiation

on or off.

If the

Use DHCP for DNS Domain Name

is disabled, then enter the

DNS Domain Name

NOTE:

You can enable

Use DHCP for DNS Name

only if IPv4 or IPv6 has DHCP configured. OME–Modular obtains its

DNS domain name from either a DHCP or DHCPv6 server when

Use DHCP for DNS Name

is enabled.

Auto Negotiation

is false or disabled, you can choose network port speed.

NOTE:

Setting

Auto Negotiation

to false and choosing a network port speed may result in the chassis losing link to the

network switch in Top of Rack, or to the neighbor chassis, if running MCM. It is recommended that the

Auto

Negotiation

is set to true for most use cases.
