Specifying th e DNS Con troller Setting
In addition to specifying IP addresses for Dell controllers, you can also specify the master DNS name for the
controllerwhen provisioning the remote AP . The namemust be resolved to an IP address when attempting to setup
the IPSec tunnel.For information on how to co nfigurea host name entry on the DNS server, refert o the vendor
documentation for yourserver. Dell recommends using a maximumof 8 IP addresses to resolve a controller name.
If the remote AP gets multiple IP addresses respondingto a host name lookup, the remote AP can use one of them
to establish a connection to the controller. For moredetailed information, see the next section "Backup Controller
List " on page 532.
Specifying the namealso lets you move or change remote AP concentrators without reprovisioning your APs. For
example,in a DNS load-balancing model, the host name resolvesto a different IP address depending on the location
of the user.This allows the remote AP t o contact the controllert o which it is geographically closest.
