LABEL DESCRIPTION
Address Record An address record specifies the mapping of a fully qualified domain name
(FQDN) to an IP address. An FQDN consists of a host and domain name and
includes the top-level domain. For example, www.zyxel.com.tw is a fully
qualified domain name, where “www” is the host, “zyxel” is the second-level
domain, and “com.tw” is the top level domain.
# This is the index number of the address record.
FQDN This is a host’s fully qualified domain name.
Wildcard This column displays whether or not the DNS wildcard feature is enabled for
this domain name.
IP Address This is the IP address of a host.
Modify Click the edit icon to go to the screen where you can edit the record.
Click the delete icon to remove an existing record. A window display asking you
to confirm that you want to delete the record. Note that subsequent records
move up by one when you take this action.
Add Click Add to open a screen where you can add a new address record. Refer to
Table 75 on page 251 for information on the fields.
Name Server
Record
A name server record contains a DNS server’s IP address. The ZyXEL Device
can query the DNS server to resolve domain names for features such as DDNS
and the time server.
When the ZyXEL Device needs to resolve a domain name, it checks it against
the name server record entries in the order that they appear in this list.
A “*” indicates a name server record without a domain zone. The default record
is grayed out. The ZyXEL Device uses this default record if the domain name
that needs to be resolved does not match any of the other name server records.
A name server record with a domain zone is always put before a record without
a domain zone.
# This is the index number of the name server record.
