LocalLB::DNSExpress

Introduced : BIG-IP_v11.0.0
The DNSExpress interface allows you to create and maintain DNS Express zones and manage DNS Express TSIG keys. A DNS Express zone allows the system to answer DNS requests authoritatively based on information transferred from a DNS server (the transfer target).

Methods

Method Description Introduced
create Creates DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
create_tsig_key Creates DNS Express TSIG keys. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
delete_all_tsig_keys Deletes all DNS Express TSIG keys. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
delete_all_zones Deletes all DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
delete_tsig_key Deletes DNS Express TSIG keys. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
delete_zone Deletes DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_all_statistics Gets the statistics for all DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_enabled_state Gets the enabled state of the specified DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_list Gets a list of all DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_notify_action Gets the NOTIFY actions used by DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.4.0
get_object_status Gets the statuses of the specified zones. This gives information on the current transfer state. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_statistics Gets the statistics for a list of DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_transfer_target Gets the transfer targets for the specified DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_tsig_key Gets the TSIG keys for the specified DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_tsig_key_algorithm Gets the algorithms to use with the specified DNS Express TSIG keys. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_tsig_key_list Gets a list of all DNS Express TSIG keys. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_tsig_key_secret Gets the secrets to use with the specified DNS Express TSIG keys. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_verify_notify_tsig_state Gets the NOTIFY TSIG verification state of the specified DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.4.0
get_version Get the version information for this interface. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
get_zone_db_statistics Gets zone database statistics for a list of DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
set_enabled_state Sets the enabled state of the specified DNS Express zones. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
set_notify_action Sets the action for handling NOTIFY of a DNS Express zone. BIG-IP_v11.4.0
set_transfer_target Sets the transfer targets for the specified DNS Express zones. A transfer target is an IP address (of a DNS server) from which to retrieve zone information (i.e. zone transfer). The update frequency of a zone is established by using the retry and refresh intervals of its SOA resource record. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
set_tsig_key Sets the TSIG keys for the specified DNS Express zones. A TSIG key is a key to use when retrieving information from a transfer target. This is optional. During zone transfer, AXFR/IXFR requests use TSIG if this name string is non-empty. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
set_tsig_key_algorithm Sets the algorithms to use with the specified DNS Express TSIG keys. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
set_tsig_key_secret Sets the secrets to use with the specified DNS Express TSIG keys. BIG-IP_v11.0.0
set_verify_notify_tsig_state Sets the NOTIFY TSIG verification state of the specified DNS Express zone. By default the system expects a TSIG to be in a NOTIFY if the Zone is configured with a TSIG key. If not, the NOTIFY is treated as bogus and dropped. If disabled, the system will not expect a TSIG in the NOTIFY from the master DNS server and allow an unsigned NOTIFY to trigger a zone transfer. BIG-IP_v11.4.0
