Third DNS Server
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a DNS
server, you must know a computer's IP address in order to access it.
IPv6 Tunneling
Use IPv6 tunneling when the local network uses IPv6 and the ISP has an IPv4 network. When the EMG2926-
Q10A has an IPv4 WAN address and you set IPv4/IPv6 mode to IPv4 Only, you can enable IPv6 tunneling
to encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to cross the ISP's IPv4 network.
