Configure the appropriate parameters:
Register Address in
DNS
When this parameter is set, the IOLAN will provide the DHCP/DHCPv6 server
with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN), so that the DHCP/DHCPv6 server
can update the network's DNS server with the newly assigned IP address.
Default: Disabled
Domain Prefix (SCS models only) A domain prefix to uniquely identify the Ethernet interface
to the DNS when the IOLAN has two Ethernet interfaces. The FQDN that is
sent to the DNS will be one of the following formats, depending on what is
configured in the System Settings section on the
IPv4 Settings tab:
z <Server Name>.<Domain Prefix>.<Domain Name>
z <Server Name>.<Domain Prefix>
Field Format: Maximum 8 alphanumeric characters
Enable Active
Standby
(SCS models only) Active Standby permits the grouping of Ethernet LAN
connections to provide for link failover. Both Ethernet connections will have
the same Ethernet MAC address. Active standby refers to the process by which
a failure of one interface can be automatically overcome by having its traffic
routed to the other interface.
Default: Disabled
