DNS Suffix

Manageability Engine BIOS Extensions (MEBX)

Intel® MEBX allows for configuration of the Intel Manageability Engine (ME) platform. Through this interface, you can provision AMT and customize a variety of settings manually.

Set a DNS Suffix through MEBX

If DHCP option15 is not set, configure the DNS Suffix manually through MEBX. This enables the reactivation of the device remotely at a later time.

Important

MEBX Must Be Enabled in the BIOS

The MEBX screens must be enabled in the BIOS to perform the instructions below. Enter the BIOS configuration at boot to verify MEBX availability. Enable according to manufacturers instructions.

To configure the DNS Suffix in the BIOS:

  1. Restart or power on the device.

  2. While the device is booting up, press Ctrl+P to reach the MEBX login screen.

    Note

    The keystroke combination Ctrl+P typically invokes the BIOS to display the MEBX login screen. If this does not work, check the manufacturer's instructions or try function keys (e.g., F2, F12).

  3. Enter the AMT password.

    Note

    If it is the first time entering MEBX and the device has not been provisioned previously, the default password is admin. Create a new password when prompted.

  4. Select Remote Setup and Configuration.

  5. Select TLS PKI.

  6. Select PKI DNS Suffix.

  7. Provide a DNS suffix name and press Enter.

  8. Press Esc three times to reach the main menu.

  9. Select MEBX Exit, and then press y to confirm the exit.
