Configure a DNS Server

The DNS (Domain Name System) translates human-friendly domain names into IP addresses. You can supply external DNS server IP addresses or use routers to provide proxy DNS services for every local network under their control. The DNS service transparently proxies DNS requests and responses to and from internal or external DNS servers.

Use this task to configure a DNS server profile object.

  1. Go to Configure > Common Objects > Management > DNS Servers.
  2. Select an existing DNS server profile object, and then select Edit, or select Add.
  3. Configure the DNS Server Settings.
  4. To add a new DNS server, select Add.
    1. Type the IP address of the new DNS server.
    2. Select ADD.

    You can add up to three servers. The first entry is the primary server. The secondary entry is the secondary server, and the third entry is the tertiary server. Use the arrows in the Order column to change the order.

  5. Select SAVE.
