Section 5 - Advanced Network Conguration
Field Description
LAN Proxy
Activate DNS Proxy
Enable or disable DNS proxy on this LAN.
When this feature is enabled, the controller will act as a proxy for all DNS requests and
communicate with the ISP’s DNS servers (as congured in the Option settings page).
All DHCP clients will receive the Primary/Secondary DNS IP along with the IP where
the DNS Proxy is running, i.e. the box’s LAN IP. All DHCP clients will receive the DNS IP
addresses of the ISP excluding the DNS Proxy IP address when it is disabled. The feature
is particularly useful in Auto Rollover mode. For example, if the DNS servers for each
connection are dierent, a link failure may render the DNS servers inaccessible. However,
when the DNS proxy is enabled, then the clients can make requests to the controller
and in turn, sends those requests to the DNS servers of the active connection.
DHCP Address Pool
Pool ID Displays a unique numeric value.
Start IP Displays Start IP address of the LAN DHCP Pool.
End IP Displays End IP address of the LAN DHCP Pool.
