Making DNS Settings

DNS (Domain Name System) provides a service for name resolution that associates a host (or domain) name with an IP address. Configure the DNS, mDNS, or DHCP option settings as necessary. Note that the procedures for configuring DNS are different for IPv4 and IPv6. Administrator privileges are required for this operation.


The DHCP optional setting only applies to the main line.
