Configuring name services

Follow these steps to reach the Name Server Setup page shown in Figure :

  1. On the Summary Status page, click Setup.
  2. On the Setup page, click Name Server, under Services.

The Name Server Setup page contains the following settings:

  • Domain Name System: If the network uses a Domain Name System (DNS), select Enabled to direct the bridge to use the system. If the network does not use DNS, select Disabled.
  • Default Domain: Enter the name of the IP domain for the network in the Entry field. The entry might look like the following:

    mycompany.com

The Current Domain line under the entry field lists the domain that is serving the bridge.

  • Domain Name Servers: Enter the IP addresses of up to three domain name servers on the network. The Current lines to the right of the entry fields list the servers the bridge is currently using. The DHCP or BOOTP server may specify these.
  • Domain Suffix: In this entry field, enter the portion of the full domain name that is to be omitted from bridge displays. For example, in the domain "mycompany.com", the full name of a computer might be "mycomputer.mycompany.com". With domain suffix set to "mycompany.com", the name would be displayed on management system pages as "mycomputer".
