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.

Primary DNS

default is the current network setting. Ensure you enter a valid DNS

server address, which must be an IPv4 address, not an IPv6 address.

Secondary DNS

: IP address of the secondary DNS server. Optional.

The value is left empty by default. Ensure you enter a valid DNS server

address, which must be an IPv4 address, not an IPv6 address.
