How Do You Edit NSX-T 3.2.1 Appliance Manager DNS Servers?

How on earth do you edit the DNS servers on an NSX-T Manager Appliance through the web console?  I'm running the latest 3.2.1 version of NSX-T and am logged in to the NSX-T Manager as an Enterprise Administrator.  I have three appliances.  The appliances page under System does not give you any option to edit the DNS servers on them.  I've been poking around for hours!

Assuming you are talking about actually NSX-T Manager Appliance VMs DNS and not DNS forwarding? You can not update the NSX-T managers DNS server through the Web UI.

You have SSH into the manager as root then edit the resolv.conf file.  (vi /etc/resolv.conf). Once you change one NSX-T Manager you will have to change the other two manually as well. I am pretty sure the NSX-T Managers DNS servers do not get replicated between managers.

OK thanks a lot.  That's easy enough to do.  I'm just surprised there is nowhere in the Web UI to do it.  I'll make the changes to /etc/resolv.conf.  Any other place within the appliance CLI that DNS needs to be modified besides /etc/resolv.conf?
