Article Summary

You can use DHCP to automatically configure the IP parameters of a unit. When the unit uses DHCP, it can be configured to obtain its DNS settings via DHCP. If the unit does not use DHCP, you can manually specify the address for each DNS server.


Note: Two DNS servers can be used for redundancy.

To use DHCP to specify the address of DNS servers

  1. Access the page System ▶Configuration ▶DNS.

  2. Enable the Use DHCP Results box.

  3. Use From Interface to select the interface from which to obtain DHCP information.

For more information on specific parameters, refer to the table DNS Parameters (System ▶ Configuration ▶DNS).

To manually specify the address of DNS servers

  1. Access the page System ▶Configuration ▶DNS.

  2. Remove the check mark from the Use DHCP results box.

  3. Manually specify the address of DNS server 1 and DNS server 2 (if required).

  4. Specify the Domain, then click Apply.

For more information on specific parameters, refer to the table DNS Parameters (System ▶ Configuration ▶DNS).
