Note: When entering IP addresses, never use an address that is in a
reserved IP address range. To see a list of reserved IP address
ranges, click the quick tip icon [ ? ] located near the IP address
field.
• Hostname - The hostname of the DXi4701.
The Hostname cannot be blank and must contain only letters
[ A–Z, a–z ], numbers [ 0–9 ], and hyphens [ - ].
• Default Gateway - The default gateway IP address.
Specifying a default gateway is optional if all access is local to a
particular subnet. For example, if the DXi4701 and all of its clients
are on the same subnet, you do not need to specify a default
gateway.
Caution: Specifying a default gateway is required to enable
connectivity with all subnets other than those that the
DXi4701 is directly connected to. For example, if the
DXi4701 and its clients are on different subnets, or you
are using an external NTP server, you must specify a
default gateway.
• DNS Suffix Search List - (Optional) The domain list to search when
resolving domain names.
The list may be either a single domain name or a comma-separated
list of up to 6 domain names. The first domain name listed is used
as the local domain. Domain names must contain only letters [ A–Z,
a–z ], numbers [ 0–9 ], dots [ . ], and hyphens [ - ].
• Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary DNS IP Address - (Optional) The
IP addresses of up to three DNS servers used to resolve domain
names and translate them into IP addresses.
Note: You must specify a DNS IP address if you plan to use
hostname format when configuring an NTP time server,
outgoing e-mail server, replication sources and targets, and
other information.
