Configuring a Resolver

Resolver configuration includes DNS requests' retry times and timeout.

• Retry: If the DNS request is not responded after timeout, system will send the request again; if still not responded after the specified retry times (i.e., the repetition times of the DNS request), system will send the request to the next DNS server.
• Timeout: System will wait for DNS server's response after sending the DNS request, and will send the request again if no response returns after a specified time. The period of waiting for response is known as timeout.

To configure the retry times and timeout for DNS requests, take the following steps:

1. On the Navigation pane, click Configure > Network > Network to visit the Network page.
2. On the Task tab in the right auxiliary pane, click DNS.
3. On the Resolver Configuration tab in the DNS List dialog, click an appropriate Retry and Timeout.
4. Click Apply to apply the configuration to the system.
