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.
