The WINS (Windows Internet Name Server) settings section allows the administrator to specify the primary WINS

1 Navigate to the Network > DNS page.
2 In the Hostname region, type a hostname for the SMA/SRA appliance in the SMA Gateway Hostname
field.
3Click Accept.
Configuring DNS Settings
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is required to allow your SMA/SRA appliance to resolve host names and URL
names with a corresponding IP address. This enables your SMA/SRA appliance to connect to hosts or sites using a
Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
To configure a DNS server:
1 Navigate to the Network > DNS page.
2 In the DNS Settings region, type the address of the primary DNS server in the Primary DNS Server field.
3 An optional secondary address can be provided in the Secondary DNS Server (optional) field.
4 Optionally, use the DNS Search List field to create a pool of domain names:
a Type the domain suffix in the Domain Search List and click Add. The suffix is appended with the
host name to make a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) that is used in host resolution.
bTo remove a DNS suffix, select the domain suffix from the list and click Remove.
c Use the up and down arrow keys to arrange the DNS domain suffixes in the order that is used to
resolve host names.
For example, your host name is SonicPRS and the usa.n.sonicwall.com and rsc.sonicwall.com DNS
suffixes are added to the search list. The first suffix is appended to SonicPRS to make the FQDN
(SonicPRS.usa.n.sonicwall.com) that is used in name resolution. If the name is not resolved, the next
suffix in the search list is used (SonicPRS.rsc.sonicwall.com).This process continues until the name is
resolved or all suffixes have been tried.
5Click Accept.
6 Restart the appliance to ensure new DNS settings take effect.
Configuring WINS Settings
WINS settings are optional. The SMA/SRA appliance can act as both a NetBIOS and WINS (Windows Internet
Naming Service) client to learn local network host names and corresponding IP addresses.
To configure WINS settings:
1 Navigate to the Network > DNS page.
2 In the WINS Settings region, type a primary WINS address in the Primary WINS Server (optional) field.
