2.2.7 DNS

A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address
into your browser, such as www.router.com, a DNS server will find that name in its index and the matching IP address.
Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience. If your Service Provider connects you to the Internet with
dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP address is provided automatically. However, if there is a DNS
server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server here.
Parameters
DNS address
Secondary DNS Address
(optional)
This is the ISP's DNS server IP address that they gave you; or you can specify your
own preferred DNS server IP address
This is optional. You can enter another DNS server's IP address as a backup. The
secondary DNS will be used should the above DNS fail.
