Host

Router
. In
Host
mode, IP traffic between
interfaces will not be routed. In

DNS Server
This setting controls the DNS name resolution done by the switch. There are four servers available
for configuration, and the index of the server presents the preference (less index has higher priority)
in doing DNS name resolution. The system selects the active DNS server from configuration in turn, if
the preferred server does not respond in five attempts. The following modes are supported:
No DNS server
: No DNS server will be used.
Configured IPv4
: Explicitly provide the valid IPv4 unicast address of
the DNS Server in dotted decimal notation. Make sure the configured
DNS server could be reachable (e.g. via PING) for activating DNS
service.
Configured IPv6
: Explicitly provide the valid IPv6 unicast (except linklocal) address of the DNS
Server. Make sure the configured DNS server could be reachable (e.g. via PING6) for activating DNS
service.
From any DHCPv4 interfaces
: The first DNS server offered
from a DHCPv4 lease to a DHCPv4-enabled interface is used.
From this DHCPv4 interface
: Specify from which DHCPv4-enabled interface a provided DNS
server should be preferred.
From any DHCPv6 interfaces
: The first DNS server offered from a DHCPv6 lease to a DHCPv6
enabled interface will be used.
From this DHCPv6 interface
: Specify from which DHCPv6-enabled interface a provided DNS
server should be preferred.
