DNS

If you are using fully qualified domain names (FQDN) instead of IP addresses for some of your
device configuration, the domain names need to be resolved into IP addresses by Domain Name
System servers. The device provides various ways to do this:
■ External, third-party DNS servers:
● Default DNS servers (see
● DNS servers configured for the associated IP network interface (see
Network Interfaces
■ Device's embedded DNS (and SRV) server:
● Internal DNS table (see
● Internal SRV table

Configuring Default DNS Servers

The device provides two default DNS server addresses (primary and secondary), which you can
modify. The default primary DNS server's address is 8.8.8.8 and the default secondary DNS
server's address is 8.8.4.4. The default DNS servers ensure that applications (for example,
Automatic Update feature) that may require DNS lookups run seamlessly when you have not
configured any DNS servers in the Internal DNS table and IP Interfaces table. In other words, the
device uses the default DNS server as the last resort. For example, if you are pinging a destination
that is configured as an FQDN, the device searches for a DNS server in the following order:
1. DNS configured for the associated IP interface in the IP Interfaces table (see
Network Interfaces
2. Default DNS server (this section)
The default DNS servers are used only for certain applications such as Configuration
Wizard, CLI ping command, and the Automatic Update feature. It is not used for call
routing.
➢
To modify the default DNS server addresses:
1. Open the DNS Settings page (Setup menu > IP Network tab > DNS folder > DNS Settings).
