Managing the DNS Options {DNS}
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. From the Web Management Interface, click on Configuration, then DNS. The Domain
Name System (DNS) Settings screen appears:
2. Enter the Host Name (the DNS name of the Access Gateway).
3. Enter a valid Domain name (the Internet domain that DNS requests will utilize).
4. Enter the IP addresses for the DNS servers (located at the customer’s network operating
center where DNS requests are sent). Servers include:
Primary DNS Server
Secondary DNS Server
Tertiary DNS Sever
5. Enter a DNS Redirection Port and a Proxy DNS Port.
6. When finished, you must reboot the system for the new settings to take effect. Click on the
check box for
Reboot after changes are saved? to reboot the system after saving your
changes.
7. Click on the Submit button to save your changes and reboot the system, or click on the
Reset button if you want to reset all the values to their previous state.
Managing the Dynamic DNS Options {Dynamic DNS}
Use the following procedure to set the Dynamic DNS options.
The host name must not contain any spaces.
The secondary and tertiary DNS servers are only utilized if the primary DNS
server is unavailable.
