server 2 configuration items to configure the IP address of the DNS server. DNS server 2 is included for use when DNS server 1 is unavailable.
NPort plays the role of DNS client, in the sense that the NPort will actively query the DNS server for the IP address associated with a particular domain name. Functions that support domain name in NPort are Time sever, Destination IP Address in TCP Client mode, Mail Server, SNMP trap server, and Auto report to IP.

IP Address Report
When NPort 5600 series products are used in a dynamic IP environment, users must spend more time with IP management tasks. For example, if NPort works as a server (TCP or UDP), then the host, which acts as a client, must know the IP address of the server. If the DHCP server assigns a new IP address to NPort, the host must have some way of determining NPort’s new IP address.
NPort 5000 series products help out by periodically reporting their IP address to the IP location server, in case the dynamic IP has changed. The parameters shown below are used to configure the Auto IP report function. There are two ways to develop an “Auto IP report Server” to receive NPort’s Auto IP report.
1.Use NPort Administrator’s IP Address Report function.
2.“Auto IP report protocol,” which can automatically receive the Auto IP report on a regular basis, is also available to help you develop your own software. Refer to Appendix E for the “Auto IP report protocol”.
