Configure whether the IP stack should act as a Host or a Router. In Host
mode, IP traffic between interfaces will not be routed. In Router mode
traffic is routed between all interfaces.
Controls the DNS name resolution done by the switch. There are four
servers available for configuration, and the index of the server presents
the preference (less index has higher priority) in doing DNS name
resolution. System selects the active DNS server from configuration in
turn, if the preferred server does not respond in five attempts.
The following modes are supported:
•
No DNS server: No DNS server will be used.
•
Configured IPv4: Explicitly provide the valid IPv4 unicast address of
the DNS Server in dotted decimal notation. Make sure the configured
DNS server could be reachable (e.g., via PING) for activating DNS
service
•
Configured IPv6: Explicitly provide the valid IPv6 unicast (except link
local) address of the DNS Server. Make sure the configured DNS
server could be reachable (e.g., via PING6) for activating DNS service.
•
From any DHCPv4 interfaces: The first DNS server offered from a
DHCPv4 lease to a DHCPv4-enabled interface will be used.
•
From this DHCPv4 interface: Specify from which DHCPv4-enabled
interface a provided DNS server should be preferred.
•
From any DHCPv6 interfaces: The first DNS server offered from a
DHCPv6 lease to a DHCPv6-enabled interface will be used.
•
From this DHCPv6 interface: Specify from which DHCPv6-enabled
interface a provided DNS server should be preferred.
When DNS proxy is enabled, system will relay DNS requests to the
currently configured DNS server, and reply as a DNS resolver to the client
devices on the network.
Only IPv4 DNS proxy is currently supported.
