DataSafe NAS User’s Manual 30
Note: The purpose of this property page is to allow
you to enter the addresses of EXTERNAL DNS
servers. The DataSafe NAS does not contain a
DNS server.
For example, a workstation configured to use DNS
name resolution could use the command ping
remotehost rather than ping 1.2.3.4 if the mapping
for the system named remotehost was contained in
the DNS database. DNS domains should not be
confused with Microsoft Windows domains.
In the DNS client-server model, the server containing
information about a portion of the DNS database (the
portion that makes computer names available to
clients) queries for name resolution across the
Internet.
To set the DataSafe NAS to automatically
obtain DNS information from a DHCP server
1. On the primary menu bar, click Network Setup.
2. On the Network Setup page, click Interfaces.
3. On the Object Selection table, select the
network connection to modify.
4. On the Tasks list, select DNS.
The DNS Configuration page (Figure 8) displays.
