Configuring DNS and host name mapping on the Velocity physical appliance
Velocity Help
The appliance can use both DNS and manual host name mapping for host name resolution. If you configure DNS and then manually add host name entries, the appliance checks the host name entries before searching the DNS.
If DNS is used, make sure that the network names of all appliances are DNS resolvable (FQDN and short name).
If DNS is not used, make sure that you enter the proper host entries for the appliance during the initial configuration.
To configure DNS settings
Log on to the Velocity shell menu.
From the Main_Menu > Network view, type the following command to add a DNS name server:
DNS Add NameServer <IPAddress>
Where <IPAddress> is the IP address of the name server. You can add multiple name servers.
Type the following command to add a DNS search domain:
DNS Add SearchDomain <DomainName>
Where <DomainName> is the target domain for searching. For example:
DNS Add SearchDomain mn.us.company.com
You can add multiple search domains.
Type the following command to configure the DNS domain name suffix:
DNS Domain <Name>
Where <Name> is the domain name of the DNS server. For example:
DNS Domain mn.us.company.com
To manually add a host name
Log on to the Velocity shell menu.
From the Main_Menu > Network view, type the following command to manually add a host name:
Hosts Add <IPAddress><FQHN><ShortName>
Where <IPAddress>, <FQHN>, and <ShortName> are the IP address, fully qualified host name, and the short host name of the host.
