Address Manager provides the ability to view the contents of the current DNS or DHCP service configuration files of any managed DNS/DHCP Server or xHA pair directly from the Address Manager web interface.
This removes the need to access the DNS/DHCP Server directly when
troubleshooting service issues related to DNS and DHCP. The DNS service
configuration file also includes zone configuration files for convenience and help
with troubleshooting.
Attention: The exported
contents of the DNS and DHCP service configuration files should
not be used as functional backups for your current
DNS or DHCP service configurations.
Note: You must have already
deployed DNS and DHCP service in order to view contents of DNS
or DHCP configuration files.
To view the DNS/DHCP service configuration:
- 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 Servers, click a server name. The Details tab for the server opens.
- Click the Diagnostics tab.
