Cache Setup
Cache Positive DNS
Resolutions
Select the check box to record the positive DNS resolutions in the cache.
Caching positive DNS resolutions helps speed up the device’s processing of
commonly queried domain names and reduces the amount of traffic that the
device sends out to the WAN.
Maximum TTL Type the maximum time to live (TTL) (60 to 3600 seconds). This sets how long
the device is to allow a positive resolution entry to remain in the DNS cache
before discarding it.
Cache Negative
DNS Resolutions
Caching negative DNS resolutions helps speed up the device’s processing of
commonly queried domain names (for which DNS resolution has failed) and
reduces the amount of traffic that the device sends out to the WAN.
Negative Cache
Period
Type the time (60 to 3600 seconds) that the device is to allow a negative
resolution entry to remain in the DNS cache before discarding it.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the device.
