DNS Server Table: The following fields are displayed for each DNS server configured:
• DNS Server—The IP address of the DNS server.
• Preference—Each server has a preference value, a lower value means a higher chance of being used.
• Source—Source of the server’s IP address (static or DHCPv4 or DHCPv6)
• Interface—Interface of the server’s IP address.
STEP 4 Up to eight DNS servers can be defined. To add a DNS server, click Add.
Enter the parameters.
• IP Version—Select Version 6 for IPv6 or Version 4 for IPv4.
• IPv6 Address Type—Select the IPv6 address type (if IPv6 is used). The options are:
- Link Local—The IPv6 address uniquely identifies hosts on a single network link. A link local
address has a prefix of FE80, is not routable, and can be used for communication only on the local
network. Only one link local address is supported. If a link local address exists on the interface, this
entry replaces the address in the configuration.
- Global—The IPv6 address is a global Unicast IPV6 type that is visible and reachable from other
networks.
• Link Local Interface—If the IPv6 address type is Link Local, select the interface through which it is
received.
• DNS Server IP Address—Enter the DNS server IP address.
• Preference—Select a value that determines the order in which the domains are used (from low to
high). This effectively determines the order in which unqualified names are completed during DNS
queries.
STEP 5 Click Apply. The DNS server is saved to the Running Configuration file.
