5. Configuring Networking
Revision 1.14.3 56 RX1000/RX1100™
This menu allows you to display and configure various DNS client fields.
The DNS servers fields allow you to specify, in order, the servers from which to request Internet
Domain Name resolution.
The Search domains field allow you to specify the domain names of, primarily, the domain of which
the router is a member, and secondarily, other domains that may be used to search for an unqualified
host name (i.e. as though it were local). If a domain name is not specified here, the router will attempt
to extract this information from the host addresses.
5.3.6. Host Addresses
Figure 5.7. Host Addresses
This menu allows you to display and configure host addresses. Host addresses are useful when a
non-changing IP address is often used or when DNS is not configured.
Follow the Add a new host address link to add an address.
5.3.7. End To End Backup
End To end backup is method of using two interfaces to ensure a reliable end to end connection
between two routers using alternate routing, without the need to configure routing protocols.
The two interfaces are assigned as a primary:secondary backup pair. The primary interface serves
as the gateway. If connectivity to the target is lost from the primary interface, traffic is migrated to the
secondary interface. When connectivity is restored on the primary path, traffic will be restored to it.
