First DNS Server

The Prestige passes a DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address

From ISP

Second DNS

(in the order you specify here) to the DHCP clients.

 

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information

 

Server

 

Third DNS Server

(and the Prestige's WAN IP address). The IP Address field below

 

displays the (read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.

 

 

Select User-Definedif you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter

 

 

the DNS server's IP address in the IP Address field below. If you chose

 

 

User-Defined, but leave the IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined

 

 

changes to None after you save your changes. If you set a second

 

 

choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the second

 

 

User-Definedchanges to None after you save your changes.

 

 

Select DNS Relay to have the Prestige act as a DNS proxy. The

 

 

Prestige's LAN IP address displays in the IP Address field below (read-

 

 

only). The Prestige tells the DHCP clients on the LAN that the Prestige

 

 

itself is the DNS server. When a computer on the LAN sends a DNS

 

 

query to the Prestige, the Prestige forwards the query to the Prestige's

 

 

system DNS server (configured in menu 1) and relays the response back

 

 

to the computer. You can only select DNS Relay for one of the three

 

 

servers; if you select DNS Relay for a second or third DNS server, that

 

 

choice changes to None after you save your changes.

 

 

Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not

 

 

configure a DNS server, you must know the IP address of a machine in

 

 

order to access it.

 

 

 

 

DHCP Server

If Relay is selected in the DHCP field above, then type the IP address of

 

Address

the actual, remote DHCP server here.
