System DNS Servers (if applicable)

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. The ZyWALL uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for VPN, DDNS and the time server.

First DNS Server

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and

 

the ZyWALL's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only)

Second DNS Server

DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.

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

 

Third DNS Server

DNS server's IP address in the field to the right.

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

 

 

configure a system DNS server, you must use IP addresses when configuring

 

VPN, DDNS and the time server.

WAN MAC Address

The MAC address field allows you to configure the WAN port's MAC Address by

 

either using the factory default or cloning the MAC address from a computer on

 

your LAN.

 

 

Factory Default

Select this option to use the factory assigned default MAC Address.

copied to the rom file (ZyNOS configuration file). It will not change unless you

require MAC address authentication.
