Host Configuration - NETGEAR GS716T Software Administration Manual

To configure the global DNS settings:
1. Specify whether to enable or disable the administrative status of the DNS Client.
• Enable. Allow the switch to send DNS queries to a DNS server to resolve a DNS
domain name.
• Disable. Prevent the switch from sending DNS queries.
2. Enter the DNS default domain name to include in DNS queries. When the system is
performing a lookup on an unqualified hostname, this field is provided as the domain name
(for example, if default domain name is netgear.com and the user enters test, then test is
changed to test.netgear.com to resolve the name).
3. To specify the DNS server to which the switch sends DNS queries, enter an IP address in
standard IPv4 dot notation in the DNS Server Address and click Add. The server appears
in the list below. You can specify up to eight DNS servers. The precedence is set in the order
created.
4. To remove a DNS server from the list, select the check box next to the server you want to
remove and click Delete. If no DNS server is specified, the check box is global and will
delete all the DNS servers listed.
5. Click Cancel to cancel the configuration on the screen and reset the data on the screen to
the latest value of the switch.
6. Click Apply to send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take
effect immediately.
