DNS/WINS settings

Open the Network > DNS/WINS page.

DNS servers

Dynamically assigned servers
Indicates the DNS servers that were assigned to the CN3000. This option does not
appear if static addressing is in use.
These parameters do not show the DNS servers assigned when the PPTP client option
is enabled.
Override dynamically assigned DNS servers
Enable this option to use the DNS servers you specify here to replace those assigned to
the CN3000. This option does not appear if static addressing is in use.
This setting does not override DNS servers assigned when the PPTP client option is
enabled.
Server 1
Specify the IP address of the first DNS server that the CN3000 will use.
Server 2
Specify the IP address of the second DNS server that the CN3000 will use.
DNS cache
Enables the DNS cache. Once a host name has been successfully resolved to an IP
address by a remote DNS server, it is stored in the cache. This speeds up network
performance, as the remote DNS server now does not have to be queried for
subsequent requests for this host.
The entry stays in the cache until:
• an error occurs when connecting to the remote host
• the time to live (TTL) of the DNS request expires
• the CN3000 is restarted.
