Entering the network settings
Host name (Cobalt server name). Assign a host name (for example, raq4) to the
RaQ 4.
Domain name. Enter your domain name. The domain name is either the official
domain name that is registered with an ICANN-accredited registrar (for example,
“mydomain.com”) or an intranet domain name specific to your network. This
allows you to access your RaQ 4 by host name and domain name, rather than by
IP address only.
Coordinate the host name and domain name with your Internet service provider
(ISP) or the person in charge of your DNS infrastructure to ensure the integrity of
your network. If your RaQ 4 is integrated into a larger network, consult with your
network administrator for this information.
As the RaQ 4 Administrator, you can change the domain name on the RaQ 4
server later on through the browser-based UI; see “Network” on page 64.
Primary DNS Server Address. Enter the IP address of your primary domain
name system (DNS) server. A primary DNS server maintains a list of computer
names and their IP addresses. The RaQ 4 needs access to this list on the primary
DNS server in order to convert between IP addresses and names. This conversion
is essential for sending and receiving email external to the RaQ 4.
Secondary DNS Server Address. This is the IP address of your secondary DNS
server. A secondary DNS server can provide redundant DNS service to your
computers. If the primary DNS server is turned off, then your RaQ 4 can use the
secondary DNS server.
