Using the CMC Web Interface 103
Use DHCP to Obtain
DNS Server Addresses
Obtains the primary and secondary DNS server addresses
from the DHCP server instead of the static settings.
Default: Unchecked (disabled) by default
NOTE: If Use DHCP (For NIC IP Address) is enabled, then
enable the Use DHCP to Obtain DNS Server Addresses
property.
If this option is checked, the CMC retrieves its DNS IP
address automatically from a DHCP server on your
network.
NOTE: When this property is enabled, the Static Preferred
DNS Server and Static Alternate DNS Server property fields
(located immediately following this option on the Network
Configuration page) are inactivated, and any previously
entered values for these properties are ignored.
If this option is not checked, the CMC retrieves the DNS
IP address from the Static Preferred DNS Server and Static
Alternate DNS Server. The addresses of these servers are
specified in the text fields immediately following this
option on the Network Configuration page.
• Static Preferred DNS
Server
Specifies the static IP address for the preferred
DNS Server. The Static Preferred DNS Server is
implemented only when Use DHCP to Obtain DNS
Server Addresses is disabled.
• Static Alternate DNS
Server
Specifies the static IP address for the alternate
DNS Server. The Static Alternate DNS Server is
implemented only when Use DHCP to obtain
DNS Server addresses is disabled. If you do not have an
alternate DNS Server, type an IP address of 0.0.0.0.
Register CMC on DNS This property registers the CMC name on the DNS Server.
Default: Unchecked (disabled) by default
NOTE: Some DNS Servers will only register names of 31
characters or fewer. Make sure the designated name is
within the DNS required limit.
