CHAPTER 52: Configuring Name Resolution
Selecting Name Resolution Settings
The security appliance can use DNS, NetBios, or both to resolve IP addresses and server names.
In the Name Resolution Method list, select:
•None: The security appliance will not attempt to resolve IP addresses and Names in the log reports.
•DNS: The security appliance will use the DNS server you specify to resolve addresses and names.
•NetBios: The security appliance will use NetBios to resolve addresses and names. If you select NetBios, no further configuration is necessary.
•DNS then NetBios: The security appliance will first use the DNS server you specify to resolve addresses and names. If it cannot resolve the name, it will try again with NetBios.
