The **DNS Local Resolver Settings** page displays the IP addresses of the local DNS resolvers and an indication of whether the resolvers are **Enabled** or **Disabled**.

To add a resolver, click **Add**. To remove one, select the checkbox for it and click **Remove**.

If you add and use only a new resolver, the NIOS-X server will use it as the default resolver. If you add and enable more than three name servers at the same time, the default settings will not be retained.

> 📝 When the interface is in **DHCP** mode, the DNS servers provided by the DHCP server are appended to `/etc/resolv.conf` at the OS level and are not visible or editable through the Infoblox Portal. This is expected behavior and can result in **inconsistent DNS resolution** unless the DNS servers provided by the DHCP server are aligned with the DNS servers defined in the Infoblox Portal, or the interface mode is switched to **Static**.

Click **Next **to go to the ***[Time Settings](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BloxOneInfrastructure/pages/119996639)*** page. You can also click **Cancel** to cancel the configuration or click **Finish** to save it.
