Configure DNS Services

This is an optional service that allows you to create a configuration for DNS.

The DNS service can be a public DNS service or a private DNS service provided by your company. It is handled by the dnsmasq service, which sends the request to all the servers configured at the same time. The server with the fastest response is selected. The service is preconfigured to use Google and Open DNS servers.

Procedure

1. In the Enterprise portal, go to Configure > Network Services, and then under Network Management area, expand DNS Services.
