The device's network identity settings include host name or virtual IP address that you configure. (A DNS server might have been defined following installation in Specifying DNS server parameters of the initial configuration.)

You can define an alternate or "virtual" address for the device to use when sending information about itself to recipients (for example, in report mail-outs). Use this function if the IP address of the management port of the device is "hidden" behind a virtual host name or a NAT device. To perform this procedure, you must have Operator-level access, or higher.

  1. In the Real User Analyzer, point to Administration > Integration, and then click Network identity.

  2. On the Action menu for the DNS section, click Edit.
  3. In the Preferred DNS server box, enter the IP address of the DNS server that you want to use (for example, 192.0.2.220 or [fd4f:9030:fbd4:1:250:56ff:fe8f:4a9a]).
  4. (Optional) In the Alternate DNS server box, enter the IP address of the alternative DNS server for the system to use.
  5. Click OK.

    The system updates your DNS server settings. Now specify the domain name suffix for the device.
