for. The Topology tab is displayed.

6.3.1.7 Setting the name server configuration
Although this procedure could also apply to any VNS type, normally these
settings are defined in the context of DHCP definitions and therefor these values
are not available for configurations if DHCP service is not defined.
A VLAN bridged VNS has an option to define the DHCP behavior for the VNS. By
default, the DHCP service is disable although the administrator can elect to have
the controller's VNS interface on the VLAN become either the actual DHCP
server (enable DHCP) or become the relay agent for DHCP requests.
To set the name server configuration:
1. From the main menu, click Virtual Network Configuration. The Virtual
Network Configuration page is displayed.
2. In the left pane Virtual Networks list, click the VNS you want to set the name
server configuration for. The Topology tab is displayed.
3. In the DNS Servers box, type the IP Address of the Domain Name Servers
to be used.
4. If applicable, in the WINS box, type the IP address if the DHCP server uses
Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS).
6.3.1.8 Using a DHCP relay for the VNS
