 52: Configuring Name Resolution

The security appliance can use DNS, NetBios, or both to resolve IP addresses and server names. 

In the Name Resolution Method list, select: 

•

None: The security appliance will not attempt to resolve IP addresses and Names in the log 
reports.

•

DNS: The security appliance will use the DNS server you specify to resolve addresses and names.

•

NetBios: The security appliance will use NetBios to resolve addresses and names. If you select 
NetBios, no further configuration is necessary. 

•

DNS then NetBios: The security appliance will first use the DNS server you specify to resolve 
addresses and names. If it cannot resolve the name, it will try again with NetBios. 

You can choose to specify DNS servers, or to use the same servers as the WAN zone. 

1 Select Specify DNS Servers Manually or Inherit DNS Settings Dynamically from WAN Zone. 

The second choice is selected by default.

2 If you selected to specify a DNS server, enter the IP address for at least one DNS server on your 

network. You can enter up to three servers.

3 Click Apply in the top right corner of the Log > Name Resolution page to make your changes 

take effect.
