Configuring DNS Settings in the BMC Web Console

Configure Domain Name System (DNS) settings in the BMC Web console to register your system's name with your DNS server while in DHCP mode.

The BMC Web console has three DDNS configuration options:

  • nsupdate (the default value) communicates directly with the DNS nameserver.

  • FQDN requests that the DHCP server set the FQDN in the DNS server as specified by the client.

  • Hostname requests that the DHCP server set the hostname in the DNS server.

To specify the DDNS method in the BMC Web Console

  1. Log in to the BMC Web console.

  2. Under Settings in the left-hand navigation panel, click Network Settings, then click DNS Configuration to open the DNS Configuration page.

  3. Select the desired configuration, or contact your network administrator for the recommended settings.

  4. Click Save.
