Field Definitions: Installation Readiness Checklist
DNS Primary
Cisco Unified Presence contacts
this DNS server first when
attempting to resolve host
names.
Enter the IP address of the DNS
server that you want to specify as the
primary DNS server. Enter the IP
address in dotted decimal format as
ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have
a value between 0 and 255 (except
0.0.0.0).
Consider this field mandatory if DNS
is set to
yes
.
DNS Secondary
When a primary DNS server
fails, Cisco Unified Presence
will attempt to connect to the
secondary DNS server.
In this optional field, enter the IP
address of the secondary DNS. Enter
the IP address in dotted decimal
format as ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where
ddd can have a value between 0 and
255 (except 0.0.0.0).
Domain
Represents the name of the
domain in which this machine is
located.
Consider this field mandatory if DNS
is set to
yes
.
Gateway Address
A gateway represents a network
point that acts as an entrance to
another network. Outbound
packets are sent to the gateway
that will forward them to their
final destination.
Enter the IP address of the gateway in
the format ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where
ddd can have a value between 0 and
255 (except 0.0.0.0)
If you do not have a gateway, you
must still fill in this field by setting it
to 255.255.255.255. Not having a
gateway may limit you to being able
to communicate with devices only on
your subnet.
Host Name
A host name represents an alias
that is assigned to an IP address
to identify it.
Enter a host name that is unique to
your network.
The host name can comprise up to 64
characters and can contain
alphanumeric characters and
hyphens.
If DHCP is set to
no
, consider this
field mandatory.
IP Address
Specifies the IP address of this
machine. It will uniquely
identify the server on this
network. No other machine in
this network should be using this
IP address.
Enter the IP address in the form
ddd.ddd.ddd.ddd where ddd can have
a value between 0 and 255 (except
0.0.0.0).
If DHCP is set to
no
, consider this
field mandatory.
