Owner's Manual

Using the CMC Web Interface 163
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 CMC Network Interface IP Address)
is enabled, then enable the Use DHCP to Obtain DNS Server
Addresses property.
If this option is checked, CMC retrieves its
DNS IPaddress automatically from a DHCP server
on your network.
NOTE: When this property is enabled, the Static Preferred
DNS Server and Static AlternateDNS 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, 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 IPaddress 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 IPaddress 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.
