7.3. Adding DNS resource records from the IdM CLI

Procedure

1. To add a DNS resource record, use the ipa dnsrecord-add command. The command follows this syntax:

   $ ipa dnsrecord-add zone_name record_name --record_type_option=data

   In the command above:

   • The zone_name is the name of the DNS zone to which the record is being added.
   • The record_name is an identifier for the new DNS resource record.

   For example, to add an A type DNS record of host1 to the idm.example.com zone, enter:

   $ ipa dnsrecord-add idm.example.com host1 --a-rec=192.168.122.123
