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.)
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.
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
(on page
)".
