title: Configuring DNS nameservers
|
|
intro: '{% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} uses the dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) for DNS settings when DHCP leases provide nameservers. If nameservers are not provided by a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) lease, or if you need to use specific DNS settings, you can specify the nameservers manually.'

|
|
The nameservers you specify must resolve {% data variables.product.product_location %}'s hostname.
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.changing-hostname-not-supported %}
|
|
|
|
## Configuring nameservers using the virtual machine console
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.open-vm-console-start %}
|
|
2. Configure nameservers for your instance.
|
|
{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.vm-console-done %}
|
|
|
|
## Configuring nameservers using the administrative shell
|
|
|
|
{% data reusables.enterprise_installation.ssh-into-instance %}
|
|
2. To edit your nameservers, enter:
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ sudo vim /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
|
|
```
|
|
3. Append any `nameserver` entries, then save the file.
|
|
4. After verifying your changes, save the file.
|
|
5. To add your new nameserver entries to {% data variables.product.product_location %}, run the following:
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ sudo service resolvconf restart
|
|
$ sudo service dnsmasq restart
|
|
```
