2 Under General, enter the following network information as
provided by your network administrator:
Note: When entering IP addresses, never use an address that is in
a reserved IP address range. To see a list of reserved IP
address ranges, click the quick tip icon [?] located near the
IP address field.
• Hostname - The hostname of the DXi4000.
• Default Gateway - The default gateway IP address.
Specifying a default gateway is optional if all access is local to a
particular subnet. For example, if the DXi4000 and all of its
clients are on the same subnet, you do not need to specify a
default gateway.
Caution: Specifying a default gateway is required to enable
connectivity with all subnets other than those that
the DXi4000 is directly connected to. For example,
if the DXi4000 and its clients are on different
subnets, you must specify a default gateway.
• Domain Suffix Search List - (Optional) The local domain to
search first when resolving domain names.
The domain suffix is a single domain name. The domain name
may contain only letters (A–Z), numbers (0–9), dots (.), and
hyphens (-).
• Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary DNS IP Address - (Optional)
The IP addresses of up to three DNS servers used to resolve
domain names and translate them into IP addresses.
Note: You must specify a DNS IP address if you plan to use
hostname format when configuring an NTP time server,
outgoing e-mail server, replication sources and targets,
and other information.
Note: If you are using network segmentation, you must
specify a DNS server for the Data IP address to enable
NAS access.
