DNS may not work properly after firmware upgrade on Network Management Card 1 (NMC1) when using DHCP boot mode

Issue

After a firmware upgrade, DNS may not work properly until DNS server settings are re-applied in some fashion, specifically when the Network Management Card 1 (NMC1) device is set to DHCP boot mode. This would affect any network service or protocol which uses a DNS name (FQDN or hostname) such as SNMP, SMTP (email), or NTP. You may see DNS related errors in the device's event log.

If you are using IP addresses for these addresses, DNS will not be used and there will not be a problem.
