GE 23954 Manuel D’Utilisation

Setting the boot-method to manual has the side effect that manual-dns is also set to ON. Mind that the 
reverse is not true (setting boot-method to DHCP does not forced manual-dns to OFF). However, if the 
boot method is set through the quick network configuration menu, setting the boot-method to DHCP will 
also force manual-dns to OFF. 
 
Unlike network settings, the DNS settings may become immediately active.

NOTE: DNS settings may be critical for the SNMP/Web adapter operation. Incorrect DNS configuration 
may compromise the functionality of other network services. Therefore make sure the DNS is correctly 
configured, especially when a manual configuration is selected.
