DNS Client

Figure 41: DNS Client

This menu allows you to display and configure various DNS client fields.
The Resolution Order selector determines the order of sources for resolving domain
names into IP addresses. The Hosts file /etc/hosts can be populated with frequently
used, but unchanging addresses. DNS refers to any configured DNS servers.
The DNS servers fields allow you to specify, in order, the serves to resolve from.
The Search domains fields allow you to specify the domain name of the network in
which the router is located. This allows short names relative to the local domain to be
used. If you do not specify a domain name the router will try and extract this
information from the host addresses.

Host Addresses

Figure 42: Host Addresses

This menu allows you to display and configure host addresses. Host addresses are
useful when a non-changing IP address is often used or when DNS is not configured.
Follow the Add a new host address link to add an address.
