DSA-3110 Hotspot Edition – User Manual
DNS
This page is designed to add domain name servers (DNS) to the system and domains to the search
list.
Name servers are used to determine the IP address from the name of a server in Intranets or the
Internet (as a rule, they are specified by an ISP or assigned by a network administrator). The search
list is used to automatically add top-level and second-level domains when a user enters an
incomplete URL (e.g., if the field value is
.com
, a user enters
in the address bar, and it is
automatically substituted by
google.com
).
The device can also perform the DNS relay function, i.e., it can redirect the DNS requests of users
to external DNS servers (including the ones distributed by an ISP). In this case, the IP address of the
device’s LAN1 interface is specified as the DNS server, and external DNS servers are specified in
the device.
Note: When you use the built-in DHCP server, the network parameters (including DNS servers) are
distributed to clients automatically, so you only need to specify external DNS servers on the
Net >
