Background:

 

This post provides a configuration guide on configuring the local DNS server in standalone mode.

 

This Article Applies to:

 

Omada routers with Disable NAT capability.

 

 

 

2. Create a DNS entry. Note that this DNS entry may apply to a single network or all of your VLAN interfaces.

 

 

Verification:

 

Open Command Prompt:

 

In this case, we are using .local and .com. You may use other suffixes.

In this case, the DNS server is 192.168.0.1. The resolution is 192.168.0.1. It is displayed as such.

 

 

Enter the domain names:

 

 

 

Note:

 

1. Configuration steps for Controller mode are similar.

2. Please note that this will involve an adapted firmware, not just a controller update. Firmware development is a complex process, and timelines may change. Therefore, we cannot provide a specific release date at this time. Please stay tuned to future firmware release notes for updates.

3. When introducing a feature like this, we typically apply it uniformly across all models to ensure consistency and a seamless user experience.

However, it's essential to acknowledge that hardware limitations may exist, which might prevent us from adding the feature to certain models. In such cases, we cannot provide individual notifications explaining the reason. Please note that we cannot guarantee the fulfillment of all requests, and we must set clear expectations upfront.

4. When the Type is IP/CNAME, wildcard * is supported. For example, "*.tplink.com" means that all domain names containing ".tplink.com" are supported, but such as "tplink.*.com" or "tplink.com.*” are not supported.

5. Please make sure your DNS server IP is the router's LAN IP. Or this Local DNS server(LAN DNS) configuration is not effective.

6. VPN would be effective for the local DNS configuration. Make sure you have configured the VPN server DNS as the router's LAN IP.
