Static DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed
database for computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private
network associates various information with domain names assigned to each of the participating
entities. Most importantly, it translates domain names meaningful to humans into the numerical
identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of locating and addressing
these devices worldwide.
An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book
for the Internet by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For
example, the domain name www.example.com translates to the addresses 192.0.32.10 (IPv4).
Static DNS is a concept relative to Dynamic DNS, in static DNS system, the IP mapped is static
without change.
You can map the specific IP to a user-friendly domain name. In LAN, you can map a PC to a
domain name for convenient access. Or you can set some well known Internet IP mapping item
so your router will response quic
kly for your DNS query instead of querying for the ISP‟s DNS
server.
Host Name: type the domain name for the specific IP.
IP Address: type the IP address.
