DNS Servers

The NBG4615 passes a DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address (in the

Assigned by DHCP

order you specify here) to the DHCP clients. The NBG4615 only passes this

Server

information to the LAN DHCP clients when you select the Enable DHCP Server

 

check box. When you clear the Enable DHCP Server check box, DHCP service

 

is disabled and you must have another DHCP sever on your LAN, or else the

 

computers must have their DNS server addresses manually configured.
