Network Connectivity Policy

A Network Connectivity Policy configures DNS server settings for the Cisco IMC management interface on UCS servers, supporting static IPv4/IPv6 DNS servers, DHCP-sourced DNS, and Dynamic DNS registration.

Examples

Example-1: Configure static IPv4 DNS servers with Dynamic DNS enabled, and apply environment tags.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          network_connectivity:
            - name: MyNetworkConnPolicy
              preferred_ipv4_dns: 8.8.8.8
              alternate_ipv4_dns: 8.8.4.4
              dynamic_dns: true
              dynamic_dns_domain: mgmt.example.com
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: Retrieve IPv4 DNS servers from DHCP instead of configuring them statically.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          network_connectivity:
            - name: MyNetworkConnDhcp
              ipv4_dns_from_dhcp: true

Example-3: Configure both IPv4 and IPv6 DNS servers for dual-stack management networks.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrg
        policies:
          network_connectivity:
            - name: MyNetworkConnDualStack
              preferred_ipv4_dns: 192.168.1.53
              alternate_ipv4_dns: 192.168.1.54
              ipv6: true
              preferred_ipv6_dns: "2001:db8::53"
              alternate_ipv6_dns: "2001:db8::54"
