Setting Static DNS IP addresses

NOTE: The Static DNS IP addresses settings are not valid unless the DCHP for DNS address feature is disabled.

For IPv4, to set the preferred primary and secondary DNS IP server addresses, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSServer1 <IP-address>

racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSServer2 <IPv4-address>

For IPv6, to set the preferred and secondary DNS IP Server addresses, type:
racadm config -g cfgIPv6LanNetworking -o

cfgIPv6DNSServer1 <IPv6-address>

racadm config -g cfgIPv6LanNetworking -o

cfgIPv6DNSServer2 <IPv6-address>

Configuring DNS Settings (IPv4 and IPv6)

CMC Registration — To register the CMC on the DNS server, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o

cfgDNSRegisterRac 1

NOTE: Some DNS servers only register names of 31 characters or fewer. Make sure the designated name is

within the DNS required limit.
NOTE: The following settings are valid only if you have registered the CMC on the DNS server by setting

cfgDNSRegisterRac to 1.

CMC Name — By default, the CMC name on the DNS server is cmc-<

service tag

>. To change the CMC name on the

DNS server, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o cfgDNSRacName <name>

where <name> is a string of up to 63 alphanumeric characters and hyphens. For example: cmc-1, d-345.

DNS Domain Name — The default DNS domain name is a single blank character. To set a DNS domain name, type:
racadm config -g cfgLanNetworking -o

cfgDNSDomainName <name>

where <name> is a string of up to 254 alphanumeric characters and hyphens. For example: p45, a-tz-1, r-id-001.

Configuring Auto Negotiation, Duplex Mode, and Network Speed (IPv4 and IPv6)

When enabled, the auto negotiation feature determines whether the CMC automatically sets the duplex mode and
network speed by communicating with the nearest router or switch. Auto negotiation is enabled by default.
You can disable auto negotiation and specify the duplex mode and network speed by typing:
racadm config -g cfgNetTuning -o cfgNetTuningNicAutoneg 0

racadm config -g cfgNetTuning -o cfgNetTuningNicFullDuplex <duplex mode>

where:
<duplex mode> is 0 (half duplex) or 1 (full duplex, default)
racadm config -g cfgNetTuning -o cfgNetTuningNicSpeed <speed>

where:
<speed> is 10 or 100 (default).
