DataSafe NAS User’s Manual

Note:

The purpose of this property page is to allow
you to enter the addresses of EXTERNAL DNS
servers. The DataSafe NAS does not contain a
DNS server.

For example, a workstation configured to use DNS
name resolution could use the command

ping

remotehost

rather than

ping 1.2.3.4

if the mapping

for the system named remotehost was contained in
the DNS database. DNS domains should not be
confused with Microsoft Windows domains.
In the DNS client-server model, the server containing
information about a portion of the DNS database (the
portion that makes computer names available to
clients) queries for name resolution across the
Internet.

To set the DataSafe NAS to automatically

obtain DNS information from a DHCP server

1. On the primary menu bar, click

Network Setup

2. On the Network Setup page, click

Interfaces

3. On the

Object Selection

table, select the

network connection to modify.

4. On the

Tasks

list, select

DNS

The DNS Configuration page (Figure 8) displays.
