2.3.7 DNS

A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses
and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such
as www.router.com, a DNS server will find that name in its index and
the matching IP address. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed
and convenience. If your Service Provider connects you to the Internet
with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP address is
provided automatically. However, if there is a DNS server that you
would rather use, you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server
here.

Parameters
