Creating and Configuring DNS Servers

The DNS Client sends the query to the server with the highest priority (lower value) first, and in case of a timeout, the query is resent to the server with the next highest priority. For servers with the same priority, the selection is distributed based on the weight value. Priority and weight values are configurable. You can also configure recursion preference (recursion involves assistance from other DNS servers to help resolve the query).

Configure the DNS group at the Zone level for the interface within the Address Context.

To assign a DNS group to a zone, refer to Zone - DNS Group - CLI page.

Parameter

Description

ednsSupport

Enable this flag to support extension mechanisms for Domain Name Systems (EDNS) for statically configured and dynamically learned DNS servers.

disabled (default)
enabled

NOTE: Refer to the following pages for additional details:

Servers - CLI (to view EDNS global settings)
Show Table Address Context (to view dnsServerStatistics)

interface

<IP or Mgmt Interface group name> – Use this parameter to specify the name of the IP or Management Interface group when using the management interfaces..

NOTE: This parameter displays only after you specify the type parameter.

localRecord

<name> – Specify the local DNS resource record name. The options are:

data <index>– Specify the DNS record index number for this DNS record.
- ipAddress – Specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address of the local name service record data.
- priority – Specify the local name service record data priority. Range: 0-100 ; Default = 0.
- state – Select the administrative state of the local name service record data.
  - disabled (default)
  - enabled
- type <a | aaaa> – Specify the local name service record data type.
hostName – Specify a unique host name of this local name service record. The host name must be unique across all records.
order– Specify the look-up order of this local name service record. The options are:
- centralized-roundrobin – (recommended) Specify this option to use the round-robin technique with respect to the whole system.
- priority – Specify this option to use the lookup order based on the order of entries returned in the DNS response.
- roundrobin – Specify this option to share and distribute local records among internal SBC processes in a round-robin fashion. Over a large number of calls, a fair amount of distribution occur across all DNS records.
state – Specify the state of this local name service record.
- disabled (default)
- enabled

server

Configure the DNS server within the DNS group.

dscpValue – Specify the Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) value the SBC sends in the IP header of DNS queries to the specified DNS server.
ipAddress – Specify the IPv4 or IPv6 address of this DNS server.
priority – Specify the DNS server priority. Range: 0-100 ; Default = 0.
recordOrder – Specify the lookup order of the local name service records associated with the specified DNS server.
- centralized-roundrobin – (recommended) Specify this option to use the round-robin technique with respect to the whole system.
- priority (default) – Use the lookup order based on the order of entries returned in the DNS response.
- roundrobin – Use this option to share and distribute local records among internal SBC processes in a round-robin fashion. Over a large number of calls, a fair amount of distribution occur across all DNS records.
recursionDesired– Enable this option to use recursion for this DNS Server.
- false
- true (default)
state – Specify the administrative state of DNS Server configuration.
- disabled (default)
- enabled
tcpFallback – Enable this flag (per DNS server) to support TCP fallback when transport protocol is configured as UDP.
- disabled (default)
- enabled
transportProtocol – Specify this parameter to choose the transport protocol to use for DNS queries for this DNS server.
- tcp
- udp (default)
weight – The load-sharing weight of this DNS Server. Range: 0-100; default = 0.

transport

The transport protocol to use to communicate with DNS servers.

tcp
udp (default)

type

The type of IP interfaces to be used for this DNS Group.

ip
mgmt
- interface mgmtGroup – management interface group name.
none (default)

useConfiguredDnsServer

When this flag is disabled, the

Spacevars

0	product

stores the Authoritative NS records received in Domain Name System (DNS) query response and uses it for locating a closer DNS server for subsequent DNS queries. There are cases where “Authoritative” servers, which are used for the previous queries may not be directly reachable from SBC, or IP ACL rules (configured on the SBC) blocks the query responses. This causes DNS queries to fail and leads to subsequent call failures.

When this flag is enabled, the

Spacevars

0	product

supports using the configured DNS for external DNS queries within that DNS group. It sends the DNS queries to the DNS server in the DNS group and ignores the Authoritative servers.

disabled (default)
enabled

rcodeErrorMonitorTimer

Configure the RCODE error monitor timer interval to allow the

Spacevars

0	product

to monitor RCODE errors.

When the timer value is 0, this feature is disabled. Range: 0 - 60 Minutes. Default: 0 minutes
