Chapter 1 Configuring Network Settings
Configuring Windows Name Services
Step 2 Choose Configure > Network > DNS. The DNS Settings window appears.
Step 3 In the Local Domain Name field, enter the name of the local domain. You can configure up to three local
domain names. Separate items in the list with a space.
Step 4 In the List of DNS Servers field, enter a list of DNS servers used by the network to resolve hostnames
to IP addresses.
You can configure up to three DNS servers. Separate items in the list with a space.
Step 5 Click Submit.
A “Click Submit to Save” message appears in red next to the Current Settings line when there are
pending changes to be saved after you have applied default and device group settings. To revert to the
previously configured window settings, click Reset. The Reset button appears only when you have
applied default or group settings to change the current device settings but the settings have not yet been
submitted.
To configure DNS name servers from the CLI, you can use the ip name-server global configuration
command.
Configuring Windows Name Services
To configure Windows name services for a device or device group, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name (or Device Groups >
device-group-name).
Step 2 Choose Configure > Network > WINS. The Windows Name Services Settings window appears.
Step 3 In the Workgroup or Domain Name field, enter the name of the workgroup (or domain) in which the
chosen device or device group resides.
This name must be entered in shortname format and cannot exceed 127 characters. Valid characters
include alphanumeric characters, a forward slash (\), an underscore (_), and a dash (-).
For example, if your domain name is cisco.com, the short name format is cisco.
Step 4 Check the NT check box if the workgroup or domain is a Windows NT 4 domain. For example, if your
domain name is cisco.com, the short name format is cisco. If your workgroup or domain is a Windows
2000 or Windows 2003 domain, do not check the NT check box. By default, this option is disabled.
Step 5 In the WINS server field, enter the hostname or IP address of the Windows Internet Naming Service
(WINS) server.
Step 6 Click Submit.
To configure Windows name services from the CLI, you can use the windows-domain global
configuration command.
