Choices/Defaults |
Comments |
cache_name
string
|
|
Specifies the user-created cache the system uses to cache DNS responses.
When you select a cache for the system to use, you must also set enable_dns_cache to yes
|
enable_cache
boolean
|
|
Specifies whether the system caches DNS responses.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
When yes , the BIG-IP system caches DNS responses handled by the virtual servers associated with this profile. When you enable this setting, you must also specify a value for cache_name .
When no , the BIG-IP system does not cache DNS responses handled by the virtual servers associated with this profile. However, the profile retains the association with the DNS cache in the cache_name parameter. Disable this setting when you want to debug the system.
|
enable_dns_express
boolean
|
|
Specifies whether the DNS Express engine is enabled.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
The DNS Express engine receives zone transfers from the authoritative DNS server for the zone. If the enable_zone_transfer setting is also yes on this profile, the DNS Express engine also responds to zone transfer requests made by the nameservers configured as zone transfer clients for the DNS Express zone.
|
enable_dns_firewall
boolean
|
|
Specifies whether the DNS firewall is enabled.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
|
enable_dnssec
boolean
|
|
Specifies whether the system signs responses with DNSSEC keys and replies to DNSSEC specific queries (for example, DNSKEY query type).
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
|
enable_gtm
boolean
|
|
Specifies whether the system uses Global Traffic Manager (now BIG-IP DNS) to manage the response.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
|
enable_zone_transfer
boolean
|
|
Specifies whether the system answers zone transfer requests for a DNS zone created on the system.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
The enable_dns_express and enable_zone_transfer settings on a DNS profile affect how the system responds to zone transfer requests.
When the enable_dns_express and enable_zone_transfer settings are both yes , if a zone transfer request matches a DNS Express zone, DNS Express answers the request.
When the enable_dns_express setting is no and the enable_zone_transfer setting is yes , the BIG-IP system processes zone transfer requests based on the last action and answers the request from local BIND or a pool member.
|
name
string
/ required
|
|
Specifies the name of the DNS profile.
|
parent
string
|
|
Specifies the profile from which this profile inherits settings.

|
partition
string
|
Default:
"Common"
|
Device partition to manage resources on.
|
process_recursion_desired
boolean
|
|
Specifies whether to process client-side DNS packets with Recursion Desired set in the header.

The BIG-IP server port.
You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT .
|
|
timeout

state
string

When absent , ensures the profile is removed.
|
unhandled_query_action
string
|
Choices:
- allow
- drop
- reject
- hint
- no-error
|
Specifies the action to take when a query does not match a Wide IP or a DNS Express Zone.
When allow , the BIG-IP system forwards queries to a DNS server or pool member. If a pool is not associated with a listener and the Use BIND Server on BIG-IP setting is set to Enabled, requests are forwarded to the local BIND server.
When drop , the BIG-IP system does not respond to the query.
When reject , the BIG-IP system returns the query with the REFUSED return code.
When hint , the BIG-IP system returns the query with a list of root name servers.
When no-error , the BIG-IP system returns the query with the NOERROR return code.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
|
use_local_bind
boolean
|
|
Specifies whether the system forwards non-wide IP queries to the local BIND server on the BIG-IP system.
For best performance, disable this setting when using a DNS cache.
When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile.
