Configuring DNS

You can use these pages to configure information about DNS servers the network uses and how the
switch/router operates as a DNS client.

DNS Global Configuration

Use the DNS Global Configuration page to configure global DNS settings and to view DNS client status
information. To access this page, click System > Advanced Configuration > DNS > Configuration.
Field Description
Admin Mode The administrative mode, Enable or Disable (default), of the DNS client.
Default Domain The default domain name (255 characters maximum) that the DNS client uses to complete unqualified host
Name names. After a default domain name is configured (default: not configured), a host name entered without
domain name information is appended with the default domain name. For example, if the default domain name
is .com and the user enters hotmail as the host name, then the host name is changed to hotmail.com.
Retry Number The number of times to resend DNS queries to a DNS server on the network. Range is 0 to 100. The default is 2.
Response Timeout The number of seconds to allow a DNS server to respond to a request before a retry. Range is 0 to 3600. Default is 3.
Domain List The domain names that have added to the DNS client's domain list. If a DNS query that includes the default
domain name is not resolved, the DNS client uses these domain names, in the order they appear in this list, to
extend the hostname into a fully-qualified domain name. Use the buttons as follows:
To create a new list of domain names, click this button, enter the name of the list, and click Submit.
Repeat this step to add multiple domains to the default domain list.
To remove a domain from the domain list, click this button and then confirm the action.
DNS Server A unique IPv4 or IPv6 address used to identify a DNS server. The order in which you add servers determines the
precedence of the server. The DNS server that you add first has the highest precedence and will be used before
other DNS servers that you add. Use the buttons as follows:
Click this button to configure the associated DNS server.
To delete the associated DNS server entry, Click this button and then confirm the action.
Use the buttons to perform the following tasks:
• If you change any settings on this page, click Submit to apply the changes.
• Click Refresh to update the information on the screen.
To retain the changes across the switch's next power cycle, click System > Configuration Storage > Save.
