Manually clear the DNS cache of LTM or BIG-IP DNS Servers.

DNS deployment to managed DNS/DHCP Servers in your F5 pool will automatically clear the DNS cache on LTM and BIG-IP DNS Servers. However, if you need to clear the DNS cache manually, you can do so from the F5 Service Configuration page of the Address Manager user interface.

To manually clear the DNS cache of an LTM or BIG-IP DNS Server:

  1. Select the Servers tab in the sidebar, then select Servers.
  2. Select the name of an LTM or BIG-IP DNS server.
  3. Select the Services tab.
  4. Under Core services, locate the DNS service panel.
  5. Select Actions > Clear cache.
  6. In the Clear DNS cache window that opens, configure the following parameters:
    • Virtual servers—(LTM only) from the drop-down menu, select a virtual server associated with your LTM server.
      Note: The values of Cache partition, Cache type, and Cache name will change depending on the selected virtual server.
      Listeners—(BIG-IP DNS Servers only) from the drop-down menu, select the listener configured on your BIG-IP DNS Server.
      Note: The values of Cache partition, Cache type, and Cache name will change depending on the selected listener.
  7. Select Clear cache.

Address Manager clears the DNS cache of the selected LTM or BIG-IP DNS Server.
