5- Create a DNS Server for the DNS Group.

• Click Create New DNS Server.

6- Configure the DNS Server.

• Enter a name for the DNS server.
• Enter an IP address for the server.
• Select a Local IP interface. This is the interface through which the DNS requests will be transmitted.

• Click Create.

7- Verify that the "DNS server was successfully created" message appears

8- Select an IP interface from the list of available interfaces. The interfaces that are added will have their FQDN requests resolved by this DNS group.
