Figure 9: Ensuring that DHCPv6 Option 17 is configured correctly
Option 3: Register ZoneDirector with a DNS Server
If you register ZoneDirector with your DNS server, supported APs that request IP
addresses from your DHCP server will also obtain DNS related information that will enable
them to discover ZoneDirector devices on the network. Using the DNS information they
obtained during the DHCP request, APs will attempt to resolve the ZoneDirector IP
address (or IP addresses) using
zonedirector.{DNS domain name}
.
To register ZoneDirector devices with DNS server:
• Step 1: Set the DNS Domain Name on the DHCP Server
• Step 2: Set the DNS Server IP Address on the DHCP Server
• Step 3: Register the ZoneDirector IP Addresses with a DNS Server
