DNS on ASA 5520

Hi there ,

How can configure ISP DNS settings on the WAN interface gi0/0 for the internal network to browse the internet. I am guessing by command line

Thanks

You don't. You hand the DNS server out directly to your clients in the DHCP pool for your clients

Hi Rabih,

You don't need to configure DNS server on the ASA to browse the internet. If you would like to ping websites with names and do a few other things with DNS on the ASA, then you need to add the DNS server on the ASA configuration.

dns domain-lookup " interface name "

dns name-server " ip address of dns server"

If you want to push the dns server settings to your internal clients, you need to add that to the dhcpd settings on the Cisco ASA,

dhcpd dns " server ip address "

Please find below, the guide to setting up the ASA as a DHCP server,

Let me know if that helps.

Cheers,
