DNS Page
This page is where you decide if you want the DNS (Domain Name System)
enabled or disabled. The DNS is a named server that lets you connect to a device
without knowing its IP address but can access by using a given name. So after you
give the WAP a name and you assign the DNS server to use, you need to make
sure that the DNS Server has a record of the WAP. For more information about
using a DNS, see
Enabling HTTPS for Secure Browsing on page 69 .
