Figure 54 Network > DHCP Server > Client List
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Third DNS Server
Select Obtained From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information
(and the EMG2926-Q10A's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-
only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS server's
IP address in the field to the right.
Select DNS Relay to have the EMG2926-Q10A act as a DNS proxy. The EMG2926-
Q10A's LAN IP address displays in the field to the right (read-only). The EMG2926-Q10A
tells the DHCP clients on the LAN that the EMG2926-Q10A itself is the DNS server. When
a computer on the LAN sends a DNS query to the EMG2926-Q10A, the EMG2926-Q10A
forwards the query to the EMG2926-Q10A's system DNS server (configured in the WAN
screen) and relays the response back to the computer. You can only select DNS Relay
for one of the three servers; if you select DNS Relay for a second or third DNS server,
that choice changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a DNS
server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the EMG2926-Q10A.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
