Making DNS Settings
13WK-00X
The DNS server is a computer which converts the names of devices (domain names) on the Internet into IP addresses.
There are many DNS servers on the Internet worldwide. They cooperate with each other to make correspondence
between domain names and IP addresses. This section describes the steps for setting the machine's DNS server
address, host name, and domain name. You can also set the machine so that an automatic update is carried out if
correspondence between the host name and the IP address is changed. If you set DNS under an IPv6 environment,
conrm if IPv6 addresses can be used (
Setting an IPv6 Address(P. 35) ). In addition, you can make correspondence
with an IP address by acquiring the host name through a DHCP server without manually entering the host name of the
machine.
