Usage tips
The TelePresence Server does not allow you
to automatically configure the name server
address if you have set a static IP address on
the selected interface.
For example, if you select Via Port
A DHCPv4 here but have also selected
Manual in the IPv4 configuration section of
the Port A settings
Server will warn you that no DNS servers will
be configured.
Depending on your network configuration,
you may be able to use this host name to
communicate with the TelePresence Server,
without needing to know its IP address.
Required if you select the Manual name
server preference.
(Optional) The TelePresence Server queries
the secondary DNS server if the primary is
unavailable. If the first server is available but
does not know an address, the TelePresence
Server does not query the secondary DNS
server.
Add a suffix if you want to use unqualified
host names to refer to devices (instead of
using IP addresses).
For example, if the domain name (suffix) is
set to cisco.com, then a request to the name
server to look up the IP address of host
endpoint will actually look up
endpoint.cisco.com.
