Araknis Networks® 310 Series Router
User Interface Manual
Advanced > Local DNS
This creates a local DNS server on the router for speedier results and forwarding. Use this expressly for
devices in the local network (for example, to create a URL like backporchcamera.myhome.com).
In the Domain Name text box at the top, enter the URL for the device that will serve as the local DNS for
your network.
Click the + Add Local DNS button to add an entry. Enter the host device's name—the text you want to
appear before your URL—its IP address, and select its IP mode.
For example, if your domain is myhome.com, enter backporchcamera in the device name text box. The
router autofills the rest of the URL.
Be sure to complete these steps for each device with a local DNS entry:
• Reserve an IP address for each device being configured, or set each device to have a static IP address.
(Using a DHCP address can cause the domain name to point to a different device if the address is
reissued after setup.)
• Set the DNS server setting in each device to the same IP address as the router (default: 192.168.1.1).
