Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. Use this screen to change your VMG's static DHCP settings. Click Network Setting > Home Networking > Static DHCP to open the following screen.

DNS Query
Scenario
Select how the VMG handles clients’ DNS information requests.
IPv4/IPv6 DNS Server
: The VMG forwards the requests to both the IPv4 and IPv6
DNS servers and sends clients the first DNS information it receives.
IPv6 DNS Server Only
: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS server and
sends clients the DNS information it receives.
IPv4 DNS Server Only
: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv4 DNS server and
sends clients the DNS information it receives.
IPv6 DNS Server First
: The VMG forwards the requests to the IPv6 DNS server first
and then the IPv4 DNS server. Then it sends clients the first DNS information it receives.
