Configuring DNS Settings
Before the LDAP client can resolve names, at least one DNS server must be
specified.
The Network sub-category displays the name of the Remote Console Switch
and allows you to change the network settings including the IP address,
Subnet Mask, Gateway, LAN speed and DHCP/BootP setting. The name
displayed for the Remote Console Switch will be the same as the name given
in the System Name field in the SNMP category.
The Network sub-category allows the entry and maintenance of up to three
DNS Servers. These DNS servers are used to resolve DNS names provided on
the LDAP authentication panel.
NOTE: At least one DNS server must be configured for the LDAP feature to work.
NOTE: You can also set DNS server addresses using the appliance’s serial
administrative interface. For information about using the serial administrative
interface, please consult your appliance documentation.
To configure the DNS settings in the on-board web interface:
1
Click the
Configure
tab, then click
Remote Console Switch - Network
.
