• None: The security appliance will not attempt to resolve IP addresses and Names in the log
reports.

names.

select NetBIOS, no further configuration is necessary.

resolve addresses and names. If it cannot resolve the name, it will try again with NetBIOS.

You can choose to specify DNS servers, or to use the same servers as the WAN zone.
Step 1 Select Specify DNS Servers Manually or Inherit DNS Settings Dynamically from WAN

your network. You can enter up to three servers.
Step 3 Click Accept in the top left corner of the Log > Name Resolution page to make your changes
