You can use these pages to configure information about DNS servers the network uses and
how the switch operates as a DNS client.
DNS Configuration
Use this page to configure global DNS settings and DNS server information.
To access this page, click
System

DNS
DNS Configuration
.
To configure the global DNS settings:
1.
Specify whether to enable or disable the administrative status of the DNS Client.
•
Enable
. Allow the switch to send DNS queries to a DNS server to resolve a DNS
domain name. DNS is disabled by default.
•
Disable
. Prevent the switch from sending DNS queries.
2.
Enter the DNS default domain name to include in DNS queries. When the system is
performing a lookup on an unqualified host name, this field is provided as the domain name
(for example, if default domain name is netgear.com and the user enters test, then test is
changed to test.netgear.com to resolve the name).
3.
To specify the DNS server to which the switch sends DNS queries, enter an IP address in
standard IPv4 dot notation in the
DNS Server Address
and click
Add
. The server appears
in the list below. You can specify up to eight DNS servers. The precedence is set in the
order created.
4.
To remove a DNS server from the list, select the check box next to the server you want to
remove and click
Delete
. If no DNS server is specified, the check box is global and will
delete all the DNS servers listed.
