Configure DNS (optional)
The DNS configuration enables the MAX to use local DNS servers for address resolution. If
you want to configure local DNS service, proceed as follows:
1
From the Mod Config menu, select DNS.
The DNS menu appears. (The values shown are examples only.)

Set up the default route (optional)
If no routes exist for the destination address of a packet, the MAX forwards the packet to the
destination specified in the default route. You can set the Default Route parameter to specify a
local IP router (such as a Cisco router or a UNIX host running the
route
daemon) to off-load
routing tasks to other devices. If the MAX does not have a default route, it drops packets for
which it has no route.
To configure the default route, proceed as follows:
1
From the Ethernet menu, select Static Rtes.
A list of IP Route profiles appears.
2
Open the first IP Route profile (the one named Default).
