DNS

On this page, you can manually configure up to 3 DNS servers with IPv4 or IPv6 addresses.
Manually configured DNS servers are each assigned an index from 1 to 3. Using DHCP, the
device can learn 2 DNS servers with IPv4 addresses. An index from 4 to 7 is automatically
assigned to learned DNS servers.
If there is more than one DNS server, the order in the table specifies the order in which the
servers are queried. The top server is queried first. A total of 7 DNS servers can be
configured on the device. Manually configured DNS servers are given preference.
The DNS server (Domain Name System) assigns a domain name to an IP address so that a
device can be uniquely identified.
If this function is enabled, the device can communicate with a DNS server as a DNS client.
You have the option of entering names in IP address boxes.
Note
The "DNS client" function can only be used if there is a DNS server in the network.
