Click the toggle switch to route all DNSDomain Name System. A DNS server functions as a phone book for the intranet and Internet users. It converts human-readable computer host names into IP addresses and IP addresses into host names. It stores several records for a domain name such as an address 'A' record, name server (NS), and mail exchanger (MX) records. The Address 'A' record is the most important record that is stored in a DNS server, because it provides the required IP address for a network peripheral or element. requests for the non-corporate domains to OpenDNS on this network.

Specify an interval for session timeout in seconds, minutes, or hours. If a client session is inactive for the specified duration, the session expires and the user is required to log in again. You can specify a value within the range of 60–86,400 seconds (24 hours) for a client session. The default value is 1000 seconds.

Click the toggle switch to allow the Instant AP to send a deauthentication frame to the inactive client and clear client entry.
