DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) distributes the responsibility of assigning domain
names and mapping those names to IP addresses by designating authoritative
name servers for each domain. Authoritative name servers are assigned to be
responsible for their particular domains, and in turn can assign other authoritative
name servers for their sub-domains.
Figure 5-18 DNS
• Primary and Secondary DNS Address – The IP address of Domain Name
Servers on the network. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names
and can be used to identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP
addresses.
If you have one or more DNS servers located on the local network, type the IP
addresses in the text fields provided. Otherwise, leave the addresses as all zeros
(0.0.0.0).
Management IP
The Management IP page configures the IP address through which the unit can be
managed using a web-browser.
Figure 5-19 Management IP
• Management IP Address – The IP address through which the unit can be
managed.
• Management Netmask – Specifies the subnet mask for network traffic.
• Management Gateway – Specifies the gateway address for routing to the unit.
