Configure DNS
After the appliance reboots, you are ready to continue configuring it by using Network
Voyager.
If you will be identifying the Defense Center that manages this sensor by hostname,
rather than an IP address, you need to configure DNS and specify a DNS server.
To use Network Voyager
1.
Start a Web browser on a workstation that can connect to the appliance.
2.
Enter the IP address you assigned to the management interface during the initial
configuration.
If you use HTTPS to make the connection, you need to enter the SSL port number,
8443. For example:
https://10.10.10.10:8443.
If you use HTTP, you are automatically redirected to HTTPS and the correct SSL
port. You do not need to enter the port number.
Because SSL is enabled, you will receive warning messages about the sample
certificate on the system. Accept the connection.
3.
Log in as
admin
and use the password that you assigned to the admin user.
Note
As part of configuring the appliance with Network Voyager, do not enable the network
interfaces that will be used as sensing interfaces. The interfaces should be administratively
down. The only interface that should be enabled is the management interface.
To configure DNS
1.
Choose System Configuration > DNS in the Network Voyager navigation tree.
2.
Enter the following information into the following fields:
Search list field
—enter a list of domain names that might be appended to names
users enter when trying to connect. Separate each name with a space.
The maximum length of the entire search list is 256 characters. The maximum
number of items in the search list is 6.
Server fields
—enter the IP address of a host running a DNS server. The optional
secondary and tertiary servers are used if the primary (or secondary) server fails to
respond.
3.
Click Submit.
