Data Object Description

All IPv4 addresses, subnet addresses, and netmasks are specified using dotted decimal notation. For example, "192.0.2.1". IPv6 addresses are 128-bit addresses represented as eight fields of up to four hexadecimal digits. A colon separates each field (:). For example, 2001:DB8:101::230:6eff:fe04:d9ff. The address can also consist of the symbol '::' to represent multiple 16-bit groups of contiguous 0's only once in an address as described in RFC 2373.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
address*	xsd:string[]	The IP addresses of the DNS servers, placed in order of preference. Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.
dhcp	xsd:boolean	The flag to indicate whether or not DHCP (dynamic host control protocol) is used to determine DNS configuration automatically.
domainName	xsd:string	The domain name portion of the DNS name. For example, "vmware.com". Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.
hostName	xsd:string	The host name portion of DNS name. For example, "esx01". Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.
searchDomain*	xsd:string[]	The domain in which to search for hosts, placed in order of preference. Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.
virtualNicDevice*	xsd:string	If DHCP is enabled, the DHCP DNS of the service console network adapter will override the system DNS. This field is ignored if DHCP is disabled by the dhcp property.

Description

address*

xsd:string[]

dhcp

xsd:boolean

The flag to indicate whether or not DHCP (dynamic host control protocol) is used to determine DNS configuration automatically.

domainName

xsd:string

The domain name portion of the DNS name. For example, "vmware.com".

Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.

hostName

xsd:string

The host name portion of DNS name. For example, "esx01".

Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.

searchDomain*

xsd:string[]

The domain in which to search for hosts, placed in order of preference.

Note: When DHCP is not enabled, the property can be set explicitly. When DHCP is enabled, the property reflects the current DNS configuration, but cannot be set.

virtualNicDevice*

xsd:string

If DHCP is enabled, the DHCP DNS of the service console network adapter will override the system DNS. This field is ignored if DHCP is disabled by the dhcp property.
