Configuring global settings
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
displayed. A static DNS IP address can be created by clicking the Add button.
