Configuration screen appears.
2. In the left pane Virtual Networks list, click the VNS you want to set time limits for. The
Topology tab is displayed.

7.1.1.7 Setting the name server configuration
Although this procedure could also apply to any VNS type, normally these settings are defined
in the context of DHCP definitions and therefor these values are not available for configurations
if DHCP service is not defined.
A VLAN bridged VNS has an option to define the DHCP behavior for the VNS. By default, the
DHCP service is disable although the administrator can elect to have the controller's VNS
interface on the VLAN become either the actual DHCP server (enable DHCP) or become the
relay agent for DHCP requests.
To set the name server configuration:
1. From the main menu, click Virtual Network Configuration. The Virtual Network
Configuration screen appears.
2. In the left pane Virtual Networks list, click the VNS you want to set the name server
configuration for. The Topology tab is displayed.
3. In the DNS Servers box, type the IP Address of the Domain Name Servers to be used.
4. If applicable, in the WINS box, type the IP address if the DHCP server uses Windows
Internet Naming Service (WINS).
7.1.1.8 Using a DHCP relay for the VNS
Although this procedure could also apply to any VNS type, normally these settings are defined
in the context of DHCP definitions and therefor these values are not available for configurations
if DHCP service is not defined.
