> 📝 In case you have switched on DHCP, you can set alternate IP address in the identically named page. This page will be displayed instead of the page "IP address" if DHCP is On. This alternate IP address will be used in case of DHCP server failure.

- DBS servers screen appears.

> 📝 In case you need the IP address to be assigned by DHCP but the addresses of DNS servers to be set manually, proceed as follows:
> 📝 
> 📝 1. On "**IP settings**" screen set DHCP to "**On**"
> 📝 2. On "**DNS servers**" screen change "Obtain DNS server automatically" to "**Use the following DNS server address**".

> 📝 If DHCP is turned off, the only available option is "Use the following DNS server address", so the DNS servers' addresses need to be entered manually.
