Network DNS Configuration
The Network Properties dialog has two tabs: IP and DNS. Click the DNS tab to open
the Network Properties DNS dialog (
FIGURE 3-10). Use the Network Properties DNS
dialog to enable the DNS Client on the switch and the DNS server to map domain
names to IP addresses.
TABLE 3-6 describes the DNS configuration parameters.
TABLE 3-6 Network Properties — DNS Configuration
Parameter Description
DNS Options
DNS Client Domain Name Service client
Local Hostname The name of local host
DNS Server
Server Discovery Choose one of the following methods by which to assign
the IP address:
• Static — uses the IP configuration parameters entered
in the Network Properties dialog.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) —
acquires the IP configuration from a DHCP server. If
no satisfactory lease is obtained, the DHCP client
attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the
previous lease cannot be used, no IP address will be
assigned to this switch in order to avoid an IP address
conflict.
• Dhcpv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
version 6) — acquires the IP configuration from a
DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained, the
DHCP client attempts to use the previously
configured lease. If the previous lease cannot be used,
no IP address will be assigned to this switch in order
to avoid an IP address conflict.
