GE 1019070 - Manual (Page 16)

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.
