DNS Names

ViPNet technology allows you to use the DNS service to source the IP addresses of servers (protected computers) used for different network purposes (eg, web browser, ftp).

If you don't specify DNS names in ViPNet Manager, you need to specify them manually in the ViPNet software on each network node.

You can get DNS names for ViPNet network nodes from your organization's network administrator.

For more information on DNS names, refer to Using DNS and WINS Services in the ViPNet Network.

1. To specify a DNS name for a node:
   1. Select the node and click the DNS names tab.
   2. Tick the Use DNS names check box.
   3. Click the Add button. The DNS name dialog box appears:

      

   4. Type a DNS name and click OK. The specified DNS name automatically appears in the DNS name list for this node.

      Note: You can add any number of DNS names for a node. DNS names must be unique. If any DNS name already exists, ViPNet Manager will ask you to choose another one.

2. To edit a node's DNS name:
   1. Click the DNS name in the list and click Edit. The IP address window appears.
   2. Change the DNS name and click OK.
3. To delete a node's DNS name:
   1. Click the DNS name in the list and click Remove. A message will appear asking you to confirm that you want to delete this DNS name. Click Yes.
