Description
Used to quickly configure your network settings. This includes the
ability to configure for DHCP or static address and designate an
IP address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway. Changing the Hostname
will assign a self-signed Cert which will need to be updated within
the DME VBAdmin UI.
This is the same ability that is included on the

Configuration Network
set the FQDN, IP/Subnet/Gateway/DNS addresses, and a
Search Domain for your DME before you begin using your
appliance.
Changing parameters in this task may require a system reboot.
Please do not reboot during any upgrade activity (identified at the
top of the screen).
The DME Hostname identifies the appliance to various network
applications including DHCP and the VBDirectory management
application. By default, this value is DME<MAC ADDRESS>.
This task will allow customization of the Hostname.
Best Practice is to use a FQDN (fully qualified domain name)
provided by your IT department with associated DNS entries.
Also include an associated CERT.
Changing this value will force the DME to create a new self-
signed certificate. Please review
section in Help for more details. This is the same ability that is
included on
System Configuration
Changing parameters in this task may require a system reboot.
Please do not reboot during any upgrade activity (identified at the
top of the screen).
If the DNS entries are not reachable, the device may respond
sluggishly. Clearing the DNS entries may alleviate the situation.
This will temporarily remove the Primary and Secondary DNS
settings. These session will return once the system is rebooted.
This will also remove any Search Domain settings – which will not
return and must be re-entered within VBAdmin.
