Add a listener interface (listener) to the BIG-IP DNS Server
that will be used to listen for DNS NOTIFY messages from the primary DNS
server.
The BIG-IP DNS Server listens for notifications of zone transfers
from the primary DNS server via a listener interface. F5 customers can configure a
listener using the Published interface functionality in Address Manager.
To add a listener interface:
-
Select the Servers tab in the sidebar, then select
Servers.
-
Select the name of a BIG-IP DNS Server.
-
Select the Interfaces tab.
-
Select New.
-
Under General, set the following server interface
parameters:
- Name—enter Listener. A FQDN isn't
required.
- Primary address—enter the IPv4 or IPv6 address
for the Listener interface. The IP address of the listener should be
able to communicate with the Self IP of the BIG-IP DNS server.
-
In the Change control
section, add comments if required.
-
Select Create.
