SLB™ Branch Office Manager User Guide 51
Hostname & Name Servers
Hostname
The default host name is slbXXXX, where XXXX is the last
4 characters of the hardware address of Ethernet Port 1.
There is a 64-character limit (contiguous characters, no
spaces). The host name becomes the prompt in the
command line interface.
Domain
If desired, specify a domain name (for example,
support.lantronix.com). The domain name is used for host
name resolution within the SLB branch office manager. For
example, if abcd is specified for the SMTP server, and
mydomain.com is specified for the domain, if abcd cannot
be resolved, the SLB device attempts to resolve
abcd.mydomain.com for the SMTP server.
DNS Servers
DNS Servers
#1 - #3
Configure up to three name servers. #1 is required if you
choose to configure DNS (Domain Name Server) servers.
The first three DNS servers acquired via DHCP through
Eth1 and/or Eth2 display automatically.
DHCP-Acquired DNS Servers
#1 - #3
Displays the IP address of the name servers if
automatically assigned by DHCP.
GPRS-Acquired DNS Servers
#1 - #3
Displays the IP address of the name servers if
automatically assigned by General Packet Radio Service
(GPRS).
TCP Keepalive Parameters
Start Probes
Number of seconds the SLB branch office manager waits
after the last transmission before sending the first probe to
determine whether a TCP session is still alive. The default
is 600 seconds (10 minutes).
Number of Probes
Number of probes the SLB device sends before closing a
session. The default is 5.
Interval
The number of seconds the SLB branch office manager
waits between probes. The default is 60 seconds.
3. To save your entries, click the Apply button. Apply makes the changes
immediately and saves them so they will be there when the SLB branch office
manager is rebooted.
Ethernet Counters
The Network-Settings page displays statistics for each of the SLB Ethernet ports since
boot-up. The system automatically updates them.
Note: For Ethernet statistics for a smaller time period, use the diag perfstat
command.
