Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Configuring domain name system servers

You can define the primary and secondary domain name system (DNS) servers on your network, and set the default domain name served by the WSM services. DNS parameters must be configured prior to using hostname in ping, traceroute, and tftp commands.

To configure DNS servers for an existing IP route:

1. From the Device view, select the Web Switching Module.

The Web Switching Module is highlighted.

2. From the Edit menu, select WSM Card > IP Routing.

The IP Routing dialog box opens to the General tab.

3. Click the DNS tab.

The DNS tab opens.

4. In the corresponding fields, type IP addresses for the primary and secondary DNS servers, and a domain name.
5. Click Set > Apply > Close.

The DNS servers are configured, and the dialog box closes.

6. To save the change, right-click the WSM card and choose one of the following from the shortcut menu:
• Save configuration (backup)--Saves changes to the active and backup WSM configuration blocks.
• Save configuration (no backup)--Saves changes to the active WSM configuration block.
