Field Field Description Usage Tips
DNS configuration
DNS
configuration
Select a DNS server
preference from the list
or select Manual to
specify DNS settings
manually.
If you select Manual, you must configure the name server(s) on this
page. If you select one of the DHCP options, the MCU receives its
nameserver address via DHCP on the interface you select.
If Automatic via DHCP (IPv4) or Automatic via SLAAC/DHCPv6 (IPv6) is
selected for IP configuration (on the Ethernet Port's configuration page),
no DNS name server will be available until the MCU receives the address
via DHCP on that interface.
For example, if you select Via Port A DHCPv6 for DNS configuration, you
must ensure that Port A is configured to use DHCPv6. Do this by going to
the Network > Port A page and selecting Automatic via SLAAC/DHCPv6
in the IP configuration field of the IPv6 interface.
Note that if the DHCP server on your network does not supply DNS
configuration information, then the MCU will have no ability to look up
names. Additionally, for IPv6 the Router Advertisment packets determine
whether or not DHCPv6 is used.
Host name Specifies a name for the
MCU.
Depending on your network configuration, you may be able to use this
host name to communicate with the MCU, without needing to know its
IP address.
Name server The IP address of the
name server.
