DNS (Administration>Network>DNS>options)
Use the options under DNS on the left navigation menu to configure and test the
Domain Name System (DNS):
Servers. Select servers to specify the IP addresses of the primary and optional
secondary DNS server. For the Main Module to send e-mail, at least the IP
address of
the primary DNS server must be defined.
The Main Module waits up to 15 seconds for a response from the primary DNS server
or the secondary DNS server (if a secondary DNS server is specified). If the Main
Module does not receive a response within that time, e-mail cannot be sent. Therefore,
use DNS servers on the same segment as the Main Module or on a nearby segment
(but not across a wide-area network [WAN]).
Naming. Select naming to define the Main Module host name and domain name:
• Host Name: After you configure a host name here and a domain name in the
Domain Name field, users can enter a host name in any field in the Main Module
interface (except e-mail addresses) that accepts a domain name.
• Domain Name: You need to configure the domain name here only. In all other fields
in the Main Module interface (except e-mail addresses) that accept domain names,
the Main Module adds this domain name when only a host name is entered.
– To override all instances of the expansion of a specified host name by the addition
of the domain name, set the domain name field to its default, somedomain.com,
or to 0.0.0.0.
– To override the expansion of a specific host name entry (for example, when
defining a trap receiver) include a trailing period. The Main Module recognizes a
host name with a trailing period (such as mySnmpServer.) as if it were a fully
qualified domain name and does not append the domain name.
To verify that DNS is working correctly after you define the IP addresses of the
DNS servers, see Test.
