Retries
Enter the number of times to retry sending a query to the accounting server after the timeout period. If
there is still no response after this number of retries, the system declares this server inoperative and uses
the next accounting server in the list. Minimum is
0, default is 3, maximum is 10 retries.
Server Secret
Enter the server secret (also called the shared secret); e.g., C8z077f. The field shows only asterisks.
Verify
Re-enter the server secret to verify it. The field shows only asterisks.
Add or Apply / Cancel
To add this server to the list of configured user accounting servers, click Add. Or, to apply your changes
to this user accounting server, click
Apply. Both actions include your entry in the active configuration.
The Manager returns to the
Configuration | System | Servers | Accounting screen. Any new server appears at
the bottom of the
Accounting Servers list.
Reminder: To save the active configuration and make it the boot configuration, click the
Save Needed icon at the
top of the Manager window.
To discard your entries, click
Cancel. The Manager returns to the Configuration | System | Servers |
Accounting
screen, and the Accounting Servers list is unchanged.
Configuration | System | Servers | DNS
This screen lets you configure system-wide Domain Name System (DNS) servers. DNS servers convert
domain names to IP addresses. Configuring DNS servers here lets you enter hostnames (e.g.,
mail01)
rather than IP addresses as you configure and manage the VPN Concentrator.
You can configure up to three DNS servers that the system queries in order.
