Configuring Domain Name Systems Domain Name System (DNS) converts user-defined domain names into IP addresses. Each time a domain name is assigned the DNS service translates the name into a numeric IP address. For example, www.ipexample.com is translated to 192.87.56.2. DNS servers maintain domain name databases and their corresponding IP addresses. The Domain Naming System (DNS) page contains fields for enabling and activating specific DNS servers. To open the Domain Naming System (DNS) page, click System → IP Addressing → Domain Name System in the tree view. Figure 6-37. Domain Naming System (DNS) • DNS Status - Enables or disables translating DNS names into IP addresses. • DNS Server - Contains a list of DNS servers. DNS servers are added in the Add DNS Server page. • DNS Server Currently Active - The DNS server that is currently the active DNS server. • Set DNS Server Active - Activates the DNS server selected in the DNS Server field. • Remove DNS Server - When selected, removes DNS Servers. 132 Configuring System Information
