Configuring Domain Name Systems

Domain Name System (DNS) converts user-defined domain names into IP addresses. Each time a
domain name is assigned the DNS service translates the name into a numeric IP address. For
example, www.ipexample.com is translated to 192.87.56.2. DNS servers maintain domain name
databases and their corresponding IP addresses.
The Domain Naming System (DNS) page contains fields for enabling and activating specific DNS
servers. To open the Domain Naming System (DNS) page, click System→ IP Addressing→
Domain Name System in the tree view.
