IPv4 DNS proxy configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 10, the LAN has a large number of devices deployed. The devices access the DNS server for domain name resolution. If the DNS server's IP address changes, the administrator must modify the DNS server address on each device, which takes a lot of time.

To simplify the configuration, configure the AC as the DNS proxy. Specify the real DNS server address on the AC. Specify the DNS proxy address as the DNS server address on the other devices. If the DNS server address changes, the administrator only needs to modify the DNS server address on the DNS proxy.

IPv6 DNS proxy configuration example

Network requirements

As shown in Figure 12, the LAN has a large number of devices deployed. The devices access the DNS server for domain name resolution. If the DNS server's IPv6 address changes, the administrator must modify the DNS server address on each device, which takes a lot of time.

To simplify the configuration, configure the AC as the DNS proxy. Specify the real DNS server address on the AC. Specify the DNS proxy address as the DNS server address on the other devices. If the DNS server address changes, the administrator only needs to modify the DNS server address on the DNS proxy.
