Editing DNS zones - BlueCat Integrity - 26.1.0

Edit the parameters configured for a DNS zone.

1. Select the DNS tab in the sidebar, then select Views.
2. Select the name of a view in the Views table or DNS tree.
3. Select the row containing the DNS zone that you want to edit, then select Edit in the expanded details section.
4. Under General, you can edit the following parameters:
   • Name—enter the name for the DNS zone. When you are creating a sub zone within an existing zone or a top level domain, the name of the existing zone or top level domain appears in the field.
   • Template—to assign a zone template to the zone, select a template from the list.
     Note: The zone templates created at the DNS view level can't be used across different DNS views. If you need a global zone template that can be used across multiple DNS views, create a zone template at the configuration level. For more information, refer to DNS zone templates.
   • Allow this zone to be deployable—when selected, the zone can be deployed to a server. When not selected, the zone can't be deployed to a server.
   • Dynamic updates—when selected, any resource records that are added, updated, or deleted within the zone will be automatically deployed to the associated primary DNS/DHCP Server of that zone using selective deployment.

     Only resource records modified within the DNS tab of the Address Manager UI, such as within zones and sub zones, and within Quick Actions are automatically deployed to the associated primary DNS/DHCP Server. Resource records that are modified within the IPAM tab, such as within IP networks, are not automatically deployed.

     Attention:

     • You can select this checkbox only when the Allow this zone to be deployable checkbox is selected.
     • Once you enable the dynamic updates feature, you must perform a full DNS deployment before resource record changes are automatically deployed.
     • If you update a deployment option within the zone, a deployment is not performed automatically.
     • If you update a deployment option followed by a resource record change, only the resource record change is deployed. You must perform a manual deployment to deploy the option change.
     • If you are moving resource records from one zone to another and the dynamic updates feature is enabled on the destination zone, changes related to the resource record move will be automatically deployed to both the source and destination zones of the resource record. This deployment occurs regardless of whether the dynamic updates feature is enabled or disabled on the source zone.

       If the destination zone does not have dynamic updates enabled, changes related to the resource record move will not be automatically deployed.

5. Under IP restrictions, set the IP ranges for the zone:
   Select the restriction Type as IPv4 block or IPv4 network from the drop-down menu and enter or select the IP restrictions. The selected item is added to the list of IP restrictions. All objects created within the view must fall within the blocks and networks in the IP restrictions list.

   To remove a restriction from the list, select the remove icon (x) beside the restriction.

6. In the Change control section, add comments if required.
7. Select Save.
