System setup
To ensure that all DNS Edge features work properly, ensure that your network configuration meets the following requirements.

Attention:
It's best to deploy the virtual machine in a network with access to a DHCP server. To learn how to install the site image, click hereclick here. For detailed deployment information, refer to the Deployment Guide on the BlueCat Product Documentation Portal. If you need to use a static IP, click here for guidelines. |

Client devices You should configure client devices on your network to point at the DNS Edge site IP address as the resolver. Deploy the site in the same network as the DNS clients (or in such a way that no translation of address is performed) so the site can see the client IP addresses part of UDP datagrams. |
|
DNS Edge administration device The client device from which you log in to the DNS Edge web application must have unrestricted
HTTPS access to the following end points (where <customerURL>
is the URL of your DNS Edge instance):
Attention:
Note: To upload a list of domains, the client device from
which you log in to the DNS Edge web
application must allow multipart/form-data uploads.

Forwarding DNS The default DNS forwarder is set to 8.8.8.8. After you log in to DNS Edge, you can customize the default DNS forwarders for your organization to save time when you create your sites. See Namespaces and forwarders. |
