15.7 Configuring DNS
Use DNS (Domain Name System) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and
vice versa. Refer to the chapter on LAN for background information.
See Section 15.1 on page 195 for background information. Click Advanced > Remote
MGMT > DNS. The screen appears as shown. Use this screen to set from which IP address
the ZyXEL Device will accept DNS queries and on which interface it can send them your
ZyXEL Device’s DNS settings.
Figure 105 Remote MGMT > DNS
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
15.8 Configuring ICMP
Use this screen to control how the ZyXEL Device responds to other types of requests. Click
Advanced > Remote MGMT > ICMP. The screen appears as shown.
If an outside user attempts to probe an unsupported port on your ZyXEL Device, an ICMP
response packet is automatically returned. This allows the outside user to know the ZyXEL
Device exists. Your ZyXEL Device supports anti-probing, which prevents the ICMP response
packet from being sent. This keeps outsiders from discovering your ZyXEL Device when
unsupported ports are probed.
