Description | This article describes the steps to add the new DNS Server for the FortiSOAR instance. |
Scope | FortiSOAR 7.x. |
Solution |
Step 1: To view the existing list of DNS servers, check the resolv.conf file.
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
Step 2: Check the reachability of the new DNS server by using the ping command.
$ ping -c 2 8.8.4.4 --- 8.8.4.4 ping statistics ---
Note: The ping does not check port 53 specifically. It helps verify if the DNS server is reachable.
Step 3: Use the csadm hostname command with the --dns-name option to set the new DNS server globally for the FortiSOAR instance.
$ sudo csadm hostname --dns-name 8.8.4.4
Step 4: Verify the updated DNS information in the resolv.conf file.
$ cat /etc/resolv.conf |
