DNS

The following sections describe the configurations of dynamic DNS entries, domain name server, domain name suffix, and enabling dynamic domain name resolution.

In addition to distinguishing devices by IP addresses, TCP/IP provides the Domain Name System (DNS) to name hosts by using character strings. DNS uses a hierarchical naming method to specify a meaningful name for a device on the network. In addition, a DNS server is required on the network to bind IP addresses to domain names. The DNS server enables users to use simple domain names instead of complex IP addresses.

• Dynamic DNS Entry Table

• DNS Settings
  Dynamic domain name resolution requires a special DNS server. This server maps domain names to IP addresses and processes the resolution requests of clients.
• Domain Name Settings
  The system provides the domain name suffix list. You can preset domain name suffixes.
• Enable Dynamic Domain Name Resolution
  To use the dynamic domain name resolution function, you must enable it first.
