42UPS Network Management Card 2 User’s Guide
• Domain Name (IPv4/IPv6): For the NMC interface, you only need to configure the domain name
here. In all other fields in this UI — except e-mail addresses — that accept domain names, the
NMC
defaults to adding this domain name when only a host name is entered.
– To override the expansion of a specified host name by the addition of a domain name, set this
domain name field to its default,
somedomain.com or to 0.0.0.0.
– To override the expansion of a specific host name entry (for example, when defining a trap
receiver), include a trailing period. The
NMC recognizes a host name with a trailing period (such
as
mySnmpServer.) as if it were a fully-qualified domain name and does not append the domain
name.
• Domain Name (IPv6): Specify the IPv6 domain name here.
Testing DNS screen
Path: Configuration > Network > DNS > Test
Use this option to send a DNS query that tests the setup of your DNS servers by looking up the IP address. See
“DNS screen” above on how to set up your servers.
View the result of a test in the Last Query Response field.
• At Query Type, select the method to use for the DNS query, see table below.
• At Query Question, specify the value to be used for the selected query type as explained in the table.
Web access screen
Path: Configuration > Network > Web > Access
Use this option to configure the access method for the Web interface. (In order to activate any changes here,
you must log off from the NMC user interface).
You can enable access to this UI through either HTTP or HTTPS or through both, by using the Enable check
boxes. HTTPS encrypts user names, passwords, and data during transmission; HTTP does not.
HTTPS also authenticates the NMC by digital certificate. See “Creating and Installing Digital Certificates” in
the Security Handbook on the NMC Utility CD to see how to use digital certificates.
For the ports, you can change the setting to any unused port for additional security; the range is 5000–32768.
You must then use a colon (:) in the address field of the browser to specify the port number. For example, for a
port number of 5000 and an IP address of 152.214.12.114:
http(s)://152.214.12.114:5000
