DNS

On the Advanced / DNS page, you can add DNS servers to the system.
DNS servers are used to determine the IP address from the name of a server in Intranets or the
Internet (as a rule, they are specified by an ISP or assigned by a network administrator).
The device performs the DNS relay function, i.e., it redirects the DNS requests of users to external
DNS servers. You can specify the addresses of DNS servers manually on this page, or configure the
access point to obtain DNS servers addresses automatically from your ISP upon installing a
connection.
!
When you use the built-in DHCP server, the network parameters (including DNS servers)
are distributed to clients automatically.
If you want to configure automatic obtainment of DNS servers addresses, deselect the Manual
checkbox, select a WAN connection which will be used to obtain addresses of DNS servers
automatically from the Interface drop-down list or select the Default route checkbox, so that the
access point could use the connection set as the default gateway (on the Net / WAN page) to obtain
DNS server addresses, and click the Change button.
If you want to specify the DNS server manually, select the Manual checkbox and enter a DNS
server address in the Name servers list. To specify several addresses, press the Enter key and
enter a needed address in the next line. Then click the Change button.
To remove a DNS server from the system, remove the relevant line from the Name servers field
and click the Change button.
