Note: Virtual Devices are not supported in the DNS Wizard.

The DNS wizard is used to generate DNS records that are sent to the DNS Administrator. Unlike the other wizards in Network Configuration Manager the DNS wizard allows you to select more than two devices. This is allowed because the focus is not the devices, but the interface s on the devices.

The following are functions used in the DNS Wizard.

Important Information!

Before you can specify a DNS interface, the domain name must be set at the current network level. The following error displays if the domain name is not set for the network.

See Setting the Domain name for more information.

Once a domain name is set up, you can select an option, then click OK to access any of the functions.
