HP Onboard Administrator - Manual (Page 113)

Configuring the HP BladeSystem c7000 enclosure and enclosure devices 113
Field Possible value Description
Enable Dynamic
DNS Enabled (check box selected) or disabled (check
box cleared).
Enables you to use a host name for the
Onboard Administrator. The host name
is registered with a DNS server.
Dynamic DNS updates the DNS server
with new or changed records for IP
addresses. This enables you to use the
same host name over time, although the
dynamically assigned IP address might
change.

1 A compressed version of the same IPv6 address is also supported.
2 The Onboard Administrator does not accept a link local address as an IPv6 Static address.
3 IPv6 Dynamic DNS requires that a valid DNS server (either IPv4 or IPv6) be configured on the Onboard Administrator.
To save the new settings, click Apply.
CAUTION: Certain browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome might include a check
box to popup dialogs that, if selected, will prevent future dialogs on the page. Do not select the
check box on any of these dialogs. If you do, dialogs will remain hidden until the application is
closed and reloaded in a new tab window.
NOTE: When you change settings and click Apply, a popup message warns that changing your
network settings could disconnect you from the Onboard Administrator. When you click OK, if the
changes will disable certain protocols, another popup message warns that all connections using
those protocols will be closed and you might lose your session. You are asked to confirm whether
you want to perform this action (click OK or Cancel).

NIC settings
• Auto-Negotiate—Automatically configures the best link. This is the default setting. This option supports
a NIC speed of 10Mb/s, 100Mb/s, or 1000Mbps. The 1000Mb/s setting is only available when
Auto-Negotiate is selected.
• Forced Full Duplex—Enables you to manually specify which settings the external NIC uses when trying
to establish a link. Onboard Administrator does not verify that the forced Ethernet settings are valid on
the network. The loss of communications might occur if the wrong or incompatible settings are used.
