Settings

This section describes the UMA appliance Network > Settings page, used to configure basic networking and host settings.

This page allows the administrator to configure the following settings:

 

Table 84. Settings available to administrator

Item	Usage
Name	A descriptive name for this appliance
Domain	In the form of “sonicwall.com”; this domain is not used for authentication
Host IP address	The static IP address for the eth0 interface of the GMS appliance. You can keep the default IP address, or enter a different IP address.
Subnet mask	In the form of “255.255.255.0”
Default gateway	The IP address of the network gateway – this is the default gateway of your perimeter firewall or networking appliance, not the GMS Gateway.
DNS server 1	The IP address of the primary DNS server
DNS server 2	(Optional) – The IP address of the secondary DNS server
DNS server 3	(Optional) – The IP address of the tertiary DNS server

NOTE: The fields under Networking can accept/display IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

To apply your changes to the above fields, click Update. To revert to default settings, click Reset.

You can also configure suffixes and enable suffix searches on this page, to aid in host name resolution. If the UMA cannot resolve a host name to its IP address, it appends one suffix at a time to the host name in the order the suffixes are configured, and tries to resolve the host name with that suffix.

To enable suffix searches, select Search Suffix.

To add a suffix, click Add to open the Add/Edit Search Suffix dialog box. Type the desired suffix into the Search Suffix field and then click Add. You can click the Configure icon for the suffix to edit it, or click the delete icon to delete it.

NOTE: Adding, configuring, or deleting a suffix restarts the Web server on the UMA, and disconnects your browser login session.
