Airlink manual Host RJ-11 IP Gateway DNS Settings

Configuration Settings and Commands

DNS Settings

The DNS Settings page allows you to specify a DNS name for your unit, specify the addresses of DNS servers to resolve names, and to pre-define some host names. The DNS name and servers can also be derived from a DHCP server.

FIGURE 10. Host RJ-11 IP Gateway: DNS Settings

If the device server is configured to use DHCP, it will try to get DNS configuration information from the DHCP server. You may also manually set up static DNS entries on this page. Having DNS configured allows you to specify names in place of IP addresses in your configuration.

The DNS Domain Name is used as the default domain for any names you specify. For instance, if you specify the name “foo” in the ping command and the domain name “company.com” in the DNS Domain Name above, the ping command will do a DNS lookup on the name “foo.com- pany.com”.
