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).
You can specify the addresses of DNS servers manually on this page, or configure the router 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.
From the Protocol type drop-down list, select an IP version for which DNS servers should be
configured.
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
router could use the connection set as the default gateway (on the Net / WAN page) to obtain DNS
server addresses, and click the Apply 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 Apply button.
To remove a DNS server from the system, remove the relevant line from the Name servers field
and click the Apply button.
