DNS Configuration
To configure the DNS servers of your AirDefense server:
1. Type dns, then press [Enter] at the prompt to define DNS servers. This adds or deletes a DNS
name server (Domain Name Server). This is the name of the server you give to your DNS server. The
NameServer screen opens, displaying your current DNS servers IP address in bold text.
• To add an entry—type a at the prompt and type the IP address at the ensuing prompt. Press
[Enter] to add the new DNS server to the list of nameServers.
• To delete an entry—type d at the prompt. At the next prompt, type in the index number of the
name server you want to delete. (If you delete a DNS server that is followed by other servers, all
the ones with a lower preference will move up in priority.)
2. At the prompt, type a to add a new DNS server. To delete a server, type d.
Important
Multiple DNS servers process DNS requests in order. The first DNS server on the list
(identified by the number 1) is the first to oer name resolution, the second DNS server on
the list (identified by the number 2) is the second to process the request if the first is
unable to do so. To change the order preference of multiple servers, you must delete them
all, and re-enter them in the order you want them to process your DNS requests. The first
DNS server you enter will become number 1 and the first to process name resolution.

hname Configuration
Note
The HNAME must be configured in the DNS server so that it can be resolved to an IP address.
Also, the DNS server must be configured in ADSPadmin before the HNAME can be used in
AirDefense.
1. At the command prompt, type hname, then press [Enter] to change the hostname. The current
hostname is displayed.
2. Type in the new hostname for your AirDefense appliance, then press [Enter]. You are prompted to
save your changes.
