AP7832 Auto register to DNS

BillP · ‎2021-06-28

I have our PDU's (about 50 of them) getting their IP from DHCP. Is there anyway for the PDU to self register to DNS?

we support the following options for DHCP requests - Which DHCP options are used when an APC Network Management Device makes a DHCPv4 request? - http://nam-en.apc.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8853/

this sounds like option 81 or option 12 to me?

i am rusty on how it works though but maybe this will help or someone else can chime in?

hm ok. more from me: i was chatting about it. the PDUs cannot do it i guess but can't the DHCP server update the DNS server once it receives the info that the NMC can respond with in the DHCP response?

Not really the same thing. Giving it parameters in the DHCP options is not the same as a DHCP client registering with DNS
