Dns Command Group - GE Digital Energy 1018959 Operating Manual

Setting the boot-method to manual has the side effect that manual-dns is also set to ON. Mind that the
reverse is not true (setting boot-method to DHCP does not forced manual-dns to OFF). However, if the
boot method is set through the quick network configuration menu, setting the boot-method to DHCP will
also force manual-dns to OFF.
Unlike network settings, the DNS settings may become immediately active.

2.2.3 DNS command group

The dns command group allows to configure the setting for hostname address resolution.
Command Parameters
showdns
manual-dns on | off
adddnssrv [X.X.X.X]
deldnssrv [X.X.X.X]

NOTE: DNS settings may be critical for the SNMP/Web adapter operation. Incorrect DNS configuration
may compromise the functionality of other network services. Therefore make sure the DNS is correctly
configured, especially when a manual configuration is selected.
