Black Box 24 port, 16 port manual DNS configuration, Cli syntax add DNS Delete DNS

DNS configuration

You can enter the addresses of two DNS hosts in the Console Server (the ‘unit’); one will be the primary host, the other a secondary host. The DNS hosts do not have to be the same hosts as entered in your unit’s host table. On a remote access connection the unit will transmit these addresses to a dial-up Windows NT/95 client. Therefore, your remote user does not have to configure DNS parameters in his/her computer. For more information on DNS see Appendix D RADIUS & Networking.

To configure DNS host proceed as follows;

1.From the Main menu select ‘network configuration’:

Cli syntax: add DNS

delete DNS

2.From the network configuration menu, select DNS. The Add/Delete DNS menu is now displayed.

3.Within the Add/Delete DNS menu select the Add DNS option. You are now prompted to enter an internet address;

4.Enter this address in dot decimal notation. If you wish, it can be the same address as a machine already entered in the unit’s host table.

The first host entered becomes the primary DNS host, the next host entered becomes the secondary host. You can enter a maximum of two DNS hosts.

5.If required, change the DNS entry by deleting it, then entering the replacement value.
