DNS
Domain name system (DNS) is an Internet service that translates domain names
into IP addresses. Because domain names are alphabetic, they are easier to
remember. The Internet, however, is actually based on IP addresses. Each time
you use a domain name, a DNS service must translate the name into the
corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com
might be translated to 198.105.232.4.
The DNS system is, in fact, its own network. If one DNS server does not know how
to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the
correct IP address is returned.
Choose ADVANCED > DNS. The page is shown as the figure appears on the
right.
If you are using the device for DHCP service on the LAN or using DNS servers on
the ISP network, select IPv4 static DNS
and enter these IP addresses in the
available entry fields for the preferred DNS server and the alternate DNS server.
