8.2. Common ipa dnsrecord-* options

--ttl=number

Sets the time to live for the record.

--structured

Parses the raw DNS records and returns them in a structured format.

--a-rec=ARECORD

Passes a single A record or a list of A records.

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

Can create a wildcard A record with a given IP address.

ipa dnsrecord-add idm.example.com "*" --a-rec=192.168.122.123 ^[a]

--a-ip-address=string

Gives the IP address for the record. When creating a record, the option to specify the A record value is --a-rec. However, when modifying an A record, the --a-rec option is used to specify the current value for the A record. The new value is set with the --a-ip-address option.

ipa dnsrecord-mod idm.example.com --a-rec 192.168.122.123 --a-ip-address 192.168.122.124

--aaaa-rec=AAAARECORD

Passes a single AAAA (IPv6) record or a list of AAAA records.

ipa dnsrecord-add idm.example.com www --aaaa-rec 2001:db8::1231:5675

--aaaa-ip-address=string

Gives the IPv6 address for the record. When creating a record, the option to specify the A record value is --aaaa-rec. However, when modifying an A record, the --aaaa-rec option is used to specify the current value for the A record. The new value is set with the --a-ip-address option.

ipa dnsrecord-mod idm.example.com --aaaa-rec 2001:db8::1231:5675 --aaaa-ip-address 2001:db8::1231:5676

--ptr-rec=PTRRECORD

Passes a single PTR record or a list of PTR records. When adding the reverse DNS record, the zone name used with the ipa dnsrecord-add command is reversed, compared to the usage for adding other DNS records. Typically, the host IP address is the last octet of the IP address in a given network. The first example on the right adds a PTR record for server4.idm.example.com with IPv4 address 192.168.122.4. The second example adds a reverse DNS entry to the 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. IPv6 reverse zone for the host server2.example.com with the IP address 2001:DB8::1111.

ipa dnsrecord-add 122.168.192.in-addr.arpa 4 --ptr-rec server4.idm.example.com.

$ ipa dnsrecord-add 0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.8.b.d.0.1.0.0.2.ip6.arpa. 1.1.1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0 --ptr-rec server2.idm.example.com.

--ptr-hostname=string

Gives the host name for the record.

--srv-rec=SRVRECORD

Passes a single SRV record or a list of SRV records. In the examples on the right, _ldap._tcp defines the service type and the connection protocol for the SRV record. The --srv-rec option defines the priority, weight, port, and target values. The weight values of 51 and 49 in the examples add up to 100 and represent the probability, in percentages, that a particular record is used.

# ipa dnsrecord-add idm.example.com _ldap._tcp --srv-rec="0 51 389 server1.idm.example.com."

# ipa dnsrecord-add server.idm.example.com _ldap._tcp --srv-rec="1 49 389 server2.idm.example.com."

--srv-priority=number

Sets the priority of the record. There can be multiple SRV records for a service type. The priority (0 - 65535) sets the rank of the record; the lower the number, the higher the priority. A service has to use the record with the highest priority first.

# ipa dnsrecord-mod server.idm.example.com _ldap._tcp --srv-rec="1 49 389 server2.idm.example.com." --srv-priority=0

--srv-weight=number

Sets the weight of the record. This helps determine the order of SRV records with the same priority. The set weights should add up to 100, representing the probability (in percentages) that a particular record is used.

# ipa dnsrecord-mod server.idm.example.com _ldap._tcp --srv-rec="0 49 389 server2.idm.example.com." --srv-weight=60

--srv-port=number

Gives the port for the service on the target host.

# ipa dnsrecord-mod server.idm.example.com _ldap._tcp --srv-rec="0 60 389 server2.idm.example.com." --srv-port=636

--srv-target=string

Gives the domain name of the target host. This can be a single period (.) if the service is not available in the domain.
