Setting DNS Servers

This article explains how to define the DNS servers that Skylight orchestrator will use for name resolution. This procedure is optional. Skylight orchestrator does not require DNS servers to be defined.

Procedure Requirements

A. This procedure must be executed from the Skylight orchestrator console. Connect to the console via a remote SSH client (appliance IP address, port 2200).

B. This procedure must be executed as the visionems user. To execute this procedure, you must know the account’s credentials.

C. You must have obtained the list of DNS servers that will be added to the appliance’s DNS search list. Up to two DNS servers can be configured.

Procedure Steps

To add DNS servers to the Skylight orchestrator list

1. Log in to the Skylight orchestrator console as the visionems user.

2. Add the first DNS server by entering:
   dns edit server1 ipAddress
   where:
   ipAddress is the IP address of the DNS server that you want to add. It can be in IPv4 or IPv6 format.

3. If you want to add a second DNS server, enter:
   dns edit server2 ipAddress

4. View the DNS configuration to confirm that your changes have been applied by entering:
   dns show
   The output will be similar to the following:

Host name : vision220
Domain : accedian.local.net
DNS Server 1 : 192.168.10.21
DNS Server 2 : 2001:dc4::101
