Using the DNS naming feature
The DNS naming feature enables you to reference the server name assigned to the server without
having to know the server IP address or obtaining the IP address for a given server. This ability
to reference the server name occurs after the server has registered its name with the DNS, using
the default naming sequence assigned by LO100, LO100 - {Server Serial Number}. (For
example, LO100 - CNQ123456.)
NOTE: This requires DHCP and will not work with static IP addresses.
To obtain the serial number, look at the pull-out tab usually located in the front panel of the
server.
You can change the server name through the Network Settings page of the LO100 web interface.
You can also change the server name through the telnet interface.
To do this, type the following in the telnet interface:
cd map1/nic1
set oemhp_hostname=
where
is the new DNS host name your server will have.
To retrieve a server IP address using the DNS naming feature, use a system connected to the
same network, open a DOS command prompt, and then type nslookup {server name}. (For
example, nslookup {CBQ123456}.)
Depending on your DNS server configuration, it might take up to 45 minutes for the DNS to
register a server name. For more DNS options in LO100, see "Configuring network settings using
a web browser".
