DNS IP Addresses

(Optional)

Specifies the IP addresses of the DNS servers that the Secure SD-WAN Engine uses. DNS IP addresses are IP addresses of external DNS servers. Secure SD-WAN Engines use these DNS servers to resolve Domain names to IP addresses. Secure SD-WAN Engines need DNS resolution to contact services that are defined using URLs or domain names, and to resolve fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) used in policies.

(Engine/VPN role only) For DNS relay, specifies the IP addresses of external DNS servers to which the Secure SD-WAN Engine forwards DNS requests from clients in the internal network. When DNS relay is configured, these DNS servers are used unless domain-specific DNS servers are specified in a DNS Relay Profile element.

If you have configured at least one Physical Interface with a dynamic IP address or one static NetLink with a DNS IP address, the default value of the DNS IP Addresses field is The engine uses NetLink-specific DNS IP addresses.

Note: If you have defined NetLink-specific DNS IP addresses, adding DNS IP addresses overrides the NetLink-specific DNS IP addresses.
