Add or edit a listener interface (listener) to the BIG-IP DNS Server
that will be used to listen for DNS NOTIFY messages from the master DNS
server.
The BIG-IP DNS Server listens for notifications of zone transfers from the master DNS
server via a listener interface. F5 customers can configure a listener using the
Published interface functionality in Address Manager.
To add or edit a listener interface:
-
From the configuration drop-down menu, select a configuration.
-
Select the Servers tab. Tabs remember the page you
last worked on, so select the tab again to ensure you're on the
Configuration information page.
-
Under Server, click a BIG-IP DNS Server. The
server’s Details tab opens.
-
Under Interfaces, click New.
The Add Interface page opens.
-
Under Interface, set the following server interface
parameters:
- Type—indicates the function of the server
interface. Published is the only option available.
- Hostname—type Listener. An FQDN is not
required.
- IPv4 Address—type the IPv4 address for the
Listener interface. The IPv4 address of the listener should be able to
communicate with the Self IP of the BIG-IP DNS server.
