Using the CMC Web Interface 127
Use DHCP to Obtain
DNS Server Addresses
Obtains the primary and secondary DNS server addresses
from the DHCP server instead of the static settings.
Default: Checked (enabled) by default
NOTE: If Use DHCP (For NIC IP Address) is enabled,
then enable the Use DHCP to Obtain DNS Server
Addresses property.
If this option is checked, the CMC retrieves its
DNS IP address automatically from a DHCP server
on your network.
NOTE: When this property is enabled, the Static Preferred
DNS Server and Static Alternate DNS Server property fields
(located immediately following this option on the Network
Configuration page) are inactivated, and any previously
entered values for these properties are ignored.
If this option is not selected, the CMC retrieves the
DNS IP address from the Static Preferred DNS Server and
Static Alternate DNS Server. The addresses of these
servers are specified in the text fields immediately
following this option on the Network Configuration page.
Static Preferred DNS
Server
Specifies the static IP address for the preferred
DNS Server. The Static Preferred DNS Server is
implemented only when Use DHCP to Obtain DNS
Server Addresses is disabled.
Static Alternate DNS
Server
Specifies the static IP address for the alternate
DNS Server. The Static Alternate DNS Server is
implemented only when Use DHCP to obtain
DNS Server addresses is disabled. If you do not have an
alternate DNS Server, type an IP address of 0.0.0.0.
