Basic Configuration
5.9.4. Static Route
The Static Route menu allows you to type in Linux routing commands that will be
automatically executed each time that the unit powers up or reboots. In the Text
Interface, the Static Route menu is accessed via the Network Configuration menu. In
the Web Browser Interface, the Static Route menu is accessed via the flyout menus
under the Network Configuration link. Note that parameters defined via this menu will
be applied to both IPv4 and IPv6 communication.
5.9.5. Domain Name Server
The DNS menu is used to select IPv4 or IPv6 format IP addresses for Domain Name
Servers. When web and network addresses are entered, the Domain Name Server
interprets domain names (e.g., www.yourcompanyname123.com), and translates them
into IP addresses. In the Text Interface, the DNS menu is accessed via the Network
Configuration menu. In the Web Browser Interface, the DNS menu is accessed via the
flyout menus under the Network Configuration link. Note that if you don't define at least
one DNS server, then IP addresses must be used, rather than domain names. Note that
parameters defined via this menu will be applied to both IPv4 and IPv6 communication.
The Domain Name Server menu includes a Ping Test feature, that allows you to ping the
IP addresses for each user-defined domain name server in order to check that a valid IP
address has been entered.
Note: In order for the Ping Test feature to function, your network and/or firewall
must be configured to allow ping commands.
