3.3 DNS Configuration
3.3.1 Working Principle
If DNS proxy is enabled, the NBR LAN port will intercept DNS traffic. Replace destination DNS server IP address
with others which have been configured in WAN port, and then send the message to that new DNS server to
associate the client to the new DNS server.
3.3.2 Effect
Realize load balance. When a link is loaded heavily, the LAN port can intercept traffic of which the destination
DNS server is in that link. And then replace destination with other DNS server not in that link.
The DNS server can be configured on your PC freely. If an incorrect DHCP server address is configured, the
LAN port can intercept the traffic and replace it with the correct one.
Detect faulty link actively and switch to a new available DNS sever.
3.3.3 Procedure
(1) Choose Network > DNS Settings > DNS Server, configure the DNS server address, and save the
configuration.
(2) Choose Network > DNS Settings > DNS Proxy and click Basic Settings.
a Check the LAN ports where the DNS proxy will be enabled.
