Configuring Domain Name Systems
Domain Name System (DNS) converts user-defined domain names into IP addresses. Each time a domain
name is assigned the DNS service translates the name into a numeric IP address. For example,
www.ipexample.com is translated to 192.87.56.2. DNS servers maintain domain name databases and their
corresponding IP addresses.
The Domain Naming System (DNS) page contains fields for enabling and activating specific DNS servers.
To open the Domain Naming System (DNS) page, click System → IP Addressing → Domain Name
System in the tree view.
