HP ProLiant DL180 Server - Manual (Page 53)

Using LO100 53
• DNS Current Domain NameDisplays the current name of the domain where the LO100 subsystem
resides. DHCP assigns this name. This name would be what is currently registered, whether it was
returned through option 6, or it was configured locally as al default.
• DNS Configured Domain NameDisplays the domain name set by user as default domain name.
• Register this Connection's Addresses in DNSEnables you to register these server addresses to the
DNS Server on the network. DHCP option 81 is used to register the host name with the appropriate
DNS suffix to the DNS server through the DHCP server.
• Use this connection's DNS suffix in the DNS RegistrationEnables you to register the DNS suffix
with the DNS server. Enables you to set and use a default domain name if the DHCP server does not
offer one through DHCP Option 6.
Disabling this option can result in the connection using its primary DNS suffix, which is usually the
DNS name of the active directory domain to which it is joined.
• Telnet Inactivity TimeoutEnables you to set the total time limit allowed of inactivity (in seconds)
during a telnet connection before the connection is terminated.
To disable Telnet Inactivity timeout, set the field to 0.
If you are using Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, from the Windows Features On/Off
option of the Programs and Features menu in the Control Panel, you must activate Telnet Server and
Telnet CIient.
LO100 enables you to register this connection's address in DNS, and to use this connection's DNS
registration. You can use this DNS registration feature only if you have enabled DHCP.
DNS registration does not work on G5 systems with low-speed NIC ports.
Configuring network settings using the CLP
1. Log in to LO100 CLP as described in the "Logging in to LO100 (on page 26 )" section.
2. At the command prompt, enter cd map1/nic1.
3. Configure the network settings by entering the following: set <network property>=<new
setting>. Configurable valid network properties are:
o networkaddress specifies the IP address for the NIC. This setting is dynamic.
o oemhp_nonvol_networkaddress specifies the IP address stored in non-volatile memory.
o oemhp_mask specifies the subnet mask for NIC. This setting is dynamic.
o oemhp_nonvol_mask specifies the subnet mask stored in non-volatile memory.
o oemhp_gateway specifies the gateway IP address for the NIC. This setting is dynamic.
o oemhp_nonvol_gateway specifies the gateway IP address stored in non-volatile memory.
o oemhp_dhcp_enable specifies whether DHCP is enabled for the NIC. Boolean values are
accepted
o oemhp_nonvol_dhcp_enable specifies whether DHCP is enabled for the NIC and address
stored in non-volatile memory.
