Specifying the DNS Switch Setting
In addition to specifying IP addresses for switches, you can also specify the master DNS name for the switch
when provisioning the remote AP. The name must be resolved to an IP address when attempting to set up the
IPSec tunnel. For information on how to configure a host name entry on the DNS server, refer to the vendor
documentation for your server. It is recommended to use a maximum of 8 IP addresses to resolve a switch
name.
If the remote AP gets multiple IP addresses responding to a host name lookup, the remote AP can use one of
them to establish a connection to the switch. For more detailed information, see the next section Backup
Switch List on page 720.
Specifying the name also lets you move or change remote AP concentrators without reprovisioning your APs.
For example, in a DNS load-balancing model, the host name resolves to a different IP address depending on
the location of the user. This allows the remote AP to contact the switch to which it is geographically closest.
The DNS setting is part of provisioning the AP. The easiest way to provision an AP is to use the Provisioning
page in the WebUI. These instructions assume you are only modifying the switch information in the Master
Discovery section of the Provision page.
