Creating a DNS server to establish a connection to a cloud account

All public cloud service providers use host names to identify themselves across the public network. The system requires a Domain Name System (DNS) to convert these host names to IP addresses to establish a cloud account.Domain Name System (DNS) translates IP address to host names.

Before you create a connection to a cloud service provider, ensure that you specify at least one DNS server to manage host names. You can have up to 2 DNS servers that are configured on the system. To configure DNS for the system, enter a valid IP address and name for each server. Both IPv4 and IPv6 address formats are supported.

To create a Domain Name System server for host name resolution by using the management GUI, select Settings > System > DNS.

mkdnsserver [-name name]
            –ip ipaddr
