Configure a DNS Server Profile

Name the DNS server profile, select the virtual system to which it applies, and specify the primary and secondary DNS server addresses.
Select
Device
Server Profiles
DNS
and
Add
a
Name
for the DNS server profile.
For
Location
, select the virtual system to which the profile applies.
For
Inheritance Source
, select
None
if the DNS server addresses are not inherited. Otherwise, specify the DNS server from which the profile should inherit settings. If you choose a DNS server, click
Check inheritance source status
to see that information.
Specify the IP address of the
Primary DNS
server, or leave as
inherited
if you chose an
Inheritance Source
.
Keep in mind that if you specify an FQDN instead of an IP address, the DNS for that FQDN is resolved in
Device
Virtual Systems
DNS Proxy
.
Specify the IP address of the
Secondary DNS
server, or leave as
inherited
if you chose an
Inheritance Source
.
Configure the service route that the firewall automatically uses, based on whether the target DNS Server has an IP address family type of IPv4 or IPv6.
Click
Service Route IPv4
to enable the subsequent interface and IPv4 address to be used as the service route, if the target DNS address is an IPv4 address.
Specify the
Source Interface
to select the DNS server’s source IP address that the service route will use. The firewall determines which virtual router is assigned that interface, and then does a route lookup in the virtual router routing table to reach the destination network (based on the
Primary DNS
address).
Specify the IPv4
Source Address
from which packets going to the DNS server are sourced.
Click
Service Route IPv6
to enable the subsequent interface and IPv6 address to be used as the service route, if the target DNS address is an IPv6 address.
Specify the
Source Interface
to select the DNS server’s source IP address that the service route will use. The firewall determines which virtual router is assigned that interface, and then does a route lookup in the virtual router routing table to reach the destination network (based on the
Primary DNS
address).
Specify the IPv6
Source Address
from which packets going to the DNS server are sourced.
