Field Description
DNS Client Select this option to enable the Domain Name Service client.
Local Hostname Enter the name of the local host.
Server Discovery Choose one of the following methods by which to assign the IP address:
• Static—Uses the IP configuration parameters entered in the Network
Properties dialog box.
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)—Acquires the IP
configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is obtained,
the DHCP client attempts to use the previously configured lease. If the
previous lease cannot be used, no IP address is assigned to this switch
to avoid an IP address conflict.
• DHCPv6 (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol version 6)—Acquires
the IP configuration from a DHCP server. If no satisfactory lease is
obtained, the DHCP client attempts to use the previously configured
lease. If the previous lease cannot be used, no IP address is assigned
to this switch to avoid an IP address conflict.
DNS Server Addresses Enter the IP address of the DNS server.
Search List Discovery Choose one of the following discovery methods for the search list:
• Static
• DHCP
• DHCPv6
Search List Domain Names Suffix that is appended to the user-specified hostname for the search.
