Domain Name Server (Dns) - Dell PowerConnect 8024 User Manual

Domain Name Server (DNS)

The Domain Name System converts user-defined domain names into IP addresses. Each time a domain
name is assigned, this service translates the name into a numeric IP address. Domain Name System
servers maintain domain name databases and their corresponding IP addresses.
Use the Domain Name Server (DNS) page to enable and activate specific DNS servers.
To display the Domain Name Server page, click System → IP Addressing → Domain Name Server in the
tree view.
