Specifying Host Name Resolution
Bypass this window if you do not have an existing HNR setup. To specify the
methods and the order in which the appliance resolves name conflicts, choose
System | System Services | Host Name Resolution . The Host Name
Resolution (HNR) window appears:
The three methods (or files) for resolving name conflicts are: DNS, NIS, and
Hosts (a local host file). For each resolution method you select on this window,
you must set up parameters. A parameter entry window exists for each method.
There are three methods for resolving names:
• DNS: Refer to “Configuring DNS” on page 61.
• Hosts (a local host file): Refer to “Configuring Local Hosts” on page 62.
• NIS: Refer to “Configuring NIS” on page 60.
1. On the Host Name Resolution Order window, shown above, specify the
order in which the system resolves names (or less than three, if you do not
use all methods), reading from left to right. For Example: Hosts, NIS, DNS
(which is the default order) indicates that names are resolved by first looking
to Hosts, second looking to NIS, and lastly looking to DNS. When the
window opens, the drop-down list boxes show the order currently set for the
system.
2. From the drop down box, select the first (left) method. Optionally, select a
second method. (The method you chose for the first option is no longer
valid.) Optionally, select a third method. (The method you chose for the first
and second option is no longer valid.)
3. Click Save .
