Configuring DNS
You can specify a Domain Name System (DNS) server for your local ISP, which lets you enter Internet
hostnames (for example, mail01) rather than IP addresses for servers as you configure and manage the
VPN 3002. While hostnames are easier to remember, using IP addresses avoids problems that might arise
with the DNS server offline or congested. If you use a hostname to identify the central-site VPN
Concentrator, you must configure a DNS server:
Step 1

-- : Specify a local DNS server, which lets you enter hostnames

> DNS Server
Quick -> [ 0.0.0.0 ]

.
Step 2

(sometimes called the domain name suffix or subdomain).
-- : Enter your ISP's domain name; e.g., ispdomain.com
> Domain
