Netgear GS108T - DNS Configuration

[nikleb]

Came across the DNS configuration in my Netgear GS108T switch.
By default "DNS Status" is enabled.

Why is there a DNS configuration in my switch? Local network DNS?
What is the proper configuration?

Without having that switch or seeing the admin page, at a guess it is the DNS for the switch so that it can look for things like time server, update server, etc.

At least my semi-managed switches (TP-Link, Trendnet and DLink) I can set them to either use automatic DNS or I can enter a DNS IP address under the admin section of their web management pages. I am guessing the same thing here?

Sounds like this DNS setting is for its own use only then.
