Use the Global Settings screen to query domain name servers to resolve domain names to IP addresses.
Use this screen to enable/disable the Domain look up , which allows you to use commands like ping,
traceroute etc. using hostnames rather than IP addresses.
Server IP Address Displays the IP address of the domain name server(s) the system can use for resolving
domain names to IP addresses. Domain
look up order is determined by the order of the
servers listed. The first server queried is the first server displayed. Therefore, ensure
obsolete addresses are periodically removed.
Server Type Displays whether the DNS IP address entry has been created statically (manually) or
dynamically. The DHCP server provides the dynamic DNS IP address entry which will be
displayed on the list. A static DNS IP address can be created by clicking the
Add button.
