Hostname and DNS Client Configuration

This section will allow you to reconfigure your DNS servers and your hostname, which are configured at installation time. Additionally you can add Search Domains from here as well.

Hostname

The hostname must be a Fully-Qualified Domain Name. Entering in an incorrect or partial hostname can have serious negative effects on a system. It is also highly recommended not to change the hostname of a production system.

Search Domains

Search domains are domains that the system will automatically search if only a hostname is given. For example, if you specify
``guardiandigital.com'' and in your web browser your type ``www'' in the address bar the system will know to look for ``www.guardiandigital.com'' as well as the other domains you have listed.

Following the Hostname and Search Domains configuration is the DNS configuration. Here you will see the DNS server(s) that were supplied at install time. These can be change by typing in new IP addresses into these fields.

• [NOTE:]An IP addres must be entered, if a domain name is entered EnGarde will not be able to perform DNS lookups.

When changes are done click the Save Configuration button to save these changes.
