Additional sections:

In this section:

This object creates and configures a DNS group object, a DNS Client on the SBC capable of communicating with external DNS servers to resolve domain names.

Note

Each signaling port within an Address Context must use a unique IP address and port number combination.

Note

The SBC 52x0 and SBC 7000 systems support creating IP Interface Groups containing sets of IP interfaces that are not "processor friendly" (i.e. carried on physical Ethernet ports served by separate processors). However, restrictions exist regarding the usage of such Interface Groups.

(This ability does not apply to the SBC 51x0 and SBC 5400 systems which have only two physical media ports. IP interfaces from the two physical ports may be configured within the same IP Interface Groups without restriction.)

For complete details, refer to Configuring IP Interface Groups and Interfaces.
