You can configure the global DNS settings and add a DNS server manually on this page.
DNS Configuration
DNS Status
Specify whether the switch functions as a DNS client:
 Disabled: The switch does not function as a DNS client and does not send DNS
queries. The settings do not take effect even if you configure a DNS server.
 Enabled: The switch functions as a DNS client and can send DNS queries to a
DNS server.
DNS Default Name
Enter the DNS default domain name to be included in DNS queries. When the switch
performs a lookup for an unqualified host name, the DNS default domain name is
provided as the domain name.
For example, if the DNS default domain name is delta.com and you enter "dvs" for a
DNS query, then "dvs" is changed to "dvs.delta.com" to resolve the name. The length
of the name can not be longer than 255 characters.
DNS Server Configuration
Serial No
The sequence number of the DNS server in the table. If the IP address of the DNS
server was dynamically added through DHCP, the number is followed by an asterisk
(*).
DNS Server
The DNS server can be added manually or added dynamically through DHCP. The
Delta switch can support 8 DNS servers.
Preference
The preference of the DNS server. The preference is determined by the order in which
the IP address was added to the table. So preference number 1 is the first IP address
that was added to the table.
