Set Appliance Hostname Select Set Appliance Hostname to configure the appliance
hostname on the DNS. This field supports the following valid
characters for host names: alphanumeric (a-z, A-Z, 0-9),
periods ( . ), and dashes ( - ).
NOTE: Using periods will designate domain name
information. If the appliance DNS information is configured
statically rather than getting domain details from DHCP,
you must configure the hostname using the fully qualified
domain name (FQDN) so that the domain search
information can be populated.
Set Networking Parameters Select Set Networking Parameters to reconfigure the
network adapters.
Choose Network Adapter menu lists all the available
networks adapters. Select a network adapter, reconfigure its
network parameters, and select Apply to save the changes to
the appropriate interface.
By default, only IPv4 is enabled on primary network interface
with a private static IP in the appliance. However, if a new
network interface is added, both IPv4 and IPv6 are enabled
for multihoming.
If the OpenManage Enterprise appliance fails to acquire a
IPv6 address, check if the environment is configured for
router advertisements to have the managed bit (M) turned
on. Network Manager from current Linux distributions causes
a link failure when this bit is on, but DHCPv6 is not available.
Ensure that DHCPv6 is enabled on the network or disable the
managed flag for router advertisements.
NOTE:
● DNS configuration is only available on the primary
network interface. If DNS resolution is wanted on this
interface, all host names must be resolvable by the
DNS server configured on the primary interface.
Select Primary Network Interface Select Primary Network Interface allows you to designate
a primary network.
Primary interface selection gives priority to the selected
interface in terms of routing and is used as the default route.
This interface will have the routing priority if there is any
