Setting the DNS Options
DNS allows subscribers to enter meaningful URLs into their browsers (instead of complicated
numeric IP addresses) by automatically converting the URLs into the correct IP addresses. You
can assign a primary, secondary, or tertiary (third) DNS server. The Access Gateway utilizes
whichever server is currently available.
Use the following procedure to set the DNS configuration options.
1. Enter c (configuration) at the Access Gateway Menu. The Configuration menu appears.
2. Enter dn (dns) at the Configuration menu. The system displays the current domain (the
default is “nomadix”).
3. Enter a valid domain name (the Internet domain that DNS requests will utilize).
4. Enter the host name (the DNS name of the Access Gateway). The host name must not
contain any spaces.
After assigning the host name, the system requests IP addresses for the primary,
secondary, and tertiary DNS servers (the default for the DNS primary address is 0.0.0.2).
After setting up your DHCP options, the system must be rebooted for your
changes to take effect.
You must configure DNS if you want to enter meaningful URLs instead of numeric
IP addresses into any of the Access Gateway’s configuration screens.
The secondary and tertiary DNS servers are only utilized if the primary DNS
server is unavailable.
