5.2.6.1 DNS Configuration
Domain Naming System
(DNS) is a hierarchical naming system for resources connected to the Internet or a private network.
Primarily, DNS resources translate domain names into IP addresses. If one DNS server does not know how to translate a
particular domain name, it asks another one until the correct IP address is returned. DNS enables access to resources using
human friendly notations. DNS converts human friendly domain names into notations used by different networking equipment
for locating resources.
As a resource is accessed (using human-friendly hostnames), it’s possible to access the resource even if the underlying machine
friendly notation name changes. Without DNS, in the simplest terms, you would need to remember a series of numbers
(123.123.123.123) instead of an easy to remember domain name (www.domainname.com).
To define the DNS configuration:
1. Select the
Configuratio
n tab from the Web UI.
2. Select
Devices
.
3. Select
System Profile
from the options on left-hand side of the UI.
4. Expand the
Network
menu and select
DNS
.

6. Set the following DNS configuration data:
7. In the
Name Servers
field, provide the IP addresses of up to three DNS server resources available to the access point.
Enable Domain Lookup
Select this option to enable DNS. When enabled, human friendly domain names can be
converted into numerical IP destination addresses. This feature is enabled by default.
DNS Server Forwarding
Select to enable the forwarding DNS queries to external DNS servers if a DNS query
cannot be processed by the access point’s own DNS resources. This feature is disabled
by default.
