Installing and Configuring Dell Wyse Configuration Manager (WCM) 27
In the DNS service record lookup, an administrator can configure the DNS
server to provide the server and port number for a service that is referred to as
_WCM._tcp. Multiple configuration repository server/port values can be
provided. The WCM agent accesses them in order, according to the weight
and priority associated with each entry.
Since the DNS server may not supply a protocol string associated with each
server/port entry, the WCM agent determines the protocol based on the port
specified. For example, if port 80 is specified, the WCM agent determines
that the protocol being used is HTTP. If the DNS service record lookup for
_WCM._tcp <full domain> fails, the WCM agent attempts _WCM._tcp
<sub-domain> and so on upon further failures. For example, if the domain
name is x.y.z, the WCM agent issues a DNS service location lookup using the
following names in the order shown until the DNS server returns a valid
answer:
1
_ WCM._tcp.x.y.z
2 _ WCM._tcp.y.z
3 _ WCM._tcp.z
