9.3 DNS / Domain Settings
At least one DNS server, accessible from the EL-500, must be specified for the device to be
able to resolve host names. This DNS server is also provided to client devices that acquire an
IP address from the local DHCP server on an EL-500.
If an EL-500 acquires DNS server information through DHCP on its wired interface, this DNS
server information will overwrite any manually set DNS server setting.
When operating in bridge mode, the DNS settings are only used locally by the
EL-500 and are not provided to any other devices on the network.
CLI
The DNS server(s) used by an EL-500 are specified with the ‘dns.servers’ parameter in the
‘sys’ interface. To specify multiple DNS servers, list them as a space-delimited string enclosed
by quotes as shown in the example below
> use sys
sys> set dns.servers =”10.5.0.5 192.168.5.5”
Web GUI
A primary and secondary DNS server can be set via the web interface using the “DNS” tab on
the “System Parameters” page.
