Reference Guide

The CMC can obtain its DNS domain name from either a DHCP or DHCPv6 server, if all of the following properties are set to 1

(true):

• cfgNicIPv4Enable

• cfgNicUseDhcp

•

cfgCurrentIPv6Enabled

• cfgIPv6AutoConfig

• cfgDNSDomainNameFromDHCP

• cfgDNSDomainName (Read/Write)

The network administrator must make sure that these DHCP servers are congured to provide the same DNS domain name to the

CMC, otherwise the domain name becomes unpredictable.

cfgDNSDomainName (Read or Write)

Description In the DNS domain name, parameter is only valid if cfgDNSDomainNameFromDHCP is set to 0

(FALSE).

of 64 bytes or fewer.
