MCS-2040
Review the following settings:
Host Name
: (Setting is user-dependent; there is no default)
Host names can be used in place of the system’s IP address for any application that
requires this address.
Domain Name
: (Setting is network-dependent; there is no default)
If a domain name is not specified, then the default domain name of Provisionserver will
be used when connecting to the SCS. If a domain name is not specified and the domain
name for the SCS is not Provisionserver, you must set up an alias in the DHCP server
to redirect the connection for Provisionserver to the appropriate domain. If a domain
name is specified, then that domain will be used. However, if there is no response after
four DNS queries to the specified domain, Provisionserver will be used instead.
Shared/Dedicated FDQN
: Shared (Recommended setting; default)
This setting determines whether the Intel ME Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) – that
is, the HostName. DomainName – is shared with the operating system or is in a separate
domain.
Dynamic DNS Update
: Disabled (Recommended setting; default)
If Dynamic DNS (DDNS) update is enabled, the firmware will actively try to register its IP
addresses and FQDN in DNS using DDNS update protocol. You must set the appropriate
host and domain names; in addition, the MEBx menu displays the following options:
• Periodic Update Interval: Specify a time from 20 to 1,440 minutes
• TTL (time-to-live): Specify a time in seconds
If DDNS update is disabled, the firmware will make no attempt to update DNS using
DHCP option 81 or DDNS update protocol. If DDNS update has not been set (that is, it is
neither enabled nor disabled), the firmware will use DHCP option 81 for DNS registration;
it will not directly update DNS using DDNS update protocol.
