Figure 8-1 DNS/IP Routing Configuration Screen
Domain Name Services and IP routing are configured only if you wish to use DNS to
resolve system names when switched DTC ports are connecting to ARPA (TCP/IP) nodes
or when using back-to-back connections. IP routing is only needed when back-to-back
connections and routers will be used on the network. Do not configure IP routing if no
routers will be used.
