DNS Management

dns import

Import zone based off a BIND zone file.

Example::: slcli dns import ~/ibm.com.txt This command imports zone and its resource records from file: ~/ibm.com.txt

dns import [OPTIONS] ZONEFILE

Options

--dry-run: Don’t actually create records

Arguments

ZONEFILE: Required argument

dns record-add

Add resource record.

Each resource record contains a RECORD and DATA property, defining a resource’s name and it’s target data. Domains contain multiple types of resource records so it can take one of the following values: A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, SPF, SRV, and PTR.

About reverse records (PTR), the RECORD value must to be the public Ip Address of device you would like to manage reverse DNS.

slcli dns record-add 10.10.8.21 PTR myhost.com –ttl=900

Examples:

slcli dns record-add myhost.com A 192.168.1.10 –zone=foobar.com –ttl=900

slcli dns record-add myhost.com AAAA 2001:DB8::1 –zone=foobar.com

slcli dns record-add 192.168.1.2 MX 192.168.1.10 –zone=foobar.com –priority=11 –ttl=1800

slcli dns record-add myhost.com TXT “txt-verification=rXOxyZounZs87oacJSKvbUSIQ” –zone=2223334

slcli dns record-add myhost.com SPF “v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all” –zone=2223334

slcli dns record-add myhost.com SRV 192.168.1.10 –zone=2223334 –service=foobar –port=80 –protocol=TCP
