DNS Configuration
DNS settings such as Name Servers and Search Domains can be configured for each network interface, which will override the DHCP provided settings.
Name servers allow the system to resolve hostnames to IP addresses to communicate with remote systems. Search domains allow the system to resolve partially qualified domain names (PQDN) by appending entries from the listed search domains to form a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
When adding an interface to a Bond or Bridge, it will use the DNS configuration of the aggregate interface.
Note:Interfaces must have at least one network connection to be able to perform DNS resolution.
Configure DNS via the Web UI
CONFIGURE > NETWORK CONNECTIONS > Network Interfaces
On the Network Interfaces page, select the desired interface and click the Edit link.
