Configuring DNS
A DNS server provides domain name resolution service, namely resolving a
domain name to an IP address. When DHCP is used, the DHCP server will
automatically obtain the DNS service. When the network does not support
DHCP, you need to manually set DNS servers.
You can set primary and secondary DNS servers to enhance availability. When
the primary server is down, the secondary server will take over.
