DNS: 
It is Domain Name Server used to serve the translation between IP 
address and name address.  
The switch supports DNS client function to re-route the mnemonic name 
address to DNS server to get its associated IP address for accessing 
Internet. User can specify a DNS IP address for the switch. With this, the 
switch can translate a mnemonic name address into an IP address.  
There are two ways to specify the IP address of DNS. One is fixed mode, 
which manually specifies its IP address, the other is dynamic mode, 
which is assigned by DHCP server while DHCP is enabled. DNS can 
help you easily remember the mnemonic address name with the 
meaningful words in it. Default is no assignment of DNS address. 
Default: 0.0.0.0
