Edit general options for a host record previously created in Address Manager.

To edit a host record:

  1. Select the DNS tab in the sidebar, then select Views.
  2. Navigate to the level (DNS zone or DNS sub-zone) where you want to add a host record.
  3. Select the Resource records tab.
  4. Select the row containing the host record in the Resource records table, then select Edit in the expanded details section.
  5. Under General, you can edit the following parameters:
    • Name—select one of the following options:
      • Same as zone—to use the zone name for the name of the host record.
      • Specify name—to specify a name for the host record, select this option and enter a name in the Name field that is displayed.
      Note: Don't use double quotation marks ("") in the name of a host record. Including double-quotation marks in the hostname may prevent successful deployment of DNS service.
    • Reverse record—select this checkbox to create a PTR record for the host record.
    • Override TTL—to change the time-to-live value for the record, select this checkbox and enter a value in the TTL field that is displayed. Select a unit of time from the drop-down menu.
  6. Under Addresses, you can edit the following parameters:
    • IP address—enter an IPv4 or IPv6 address for the host record and select the + button. To add multiple addresses, repeat the process. To remove an address, select the remove icon (x) for that address.
    • Auto create network—select this checkbox to automatically create a network if a network containing the IP address or addresses specified in the IP address field doesn't already exist. For IPv4 addresses, if no network or block already exists, Address Manager automatically creates a /24 network and /24 parent block. For IPv6 addresses, if no network or block already exists, Address Manager automatically creates a /64 network and a /64 parent block.
  7. Under Additional info, enter notes describing the resource record in the Comment field, if required.
  8. In the Change control section, add comments if required.
  9. Select Save.
