Configuring the Internal SRV Table

The Internal SRV table lets you configure up to 10 SRV rows. The table is used to resolve hostnames into DNS A-Records. You can assign three different A-Records per hostname, where each A-Record includes the hostname, priority, weight, and port.

The device first attempts to resolve a domain name using this table. If the domain name is not configured in this table, the device performs an SRV resolution using an external DNS server whose address is configured for the associated IP network interface in the IP Interfaces table. If the IP network interface is not configured with a DNS address, the device performs an SRV resolution with the default external DNS server (see Configuring Default DNS Servers).

The following procedure describes how to configure the Internal SRV table through the Web interface. You can also configure it through ini file [SRV2IP] or CLI (configure network > dns srv2ip).

To configure the device's SRV table:
1. Open the Internal SRV table (Setup menu > IP Network tab > DNS folder > Internal SRV).
2. Click New; the following dialog box appears:

3. Configure an SRV rule according to the parameters described in the table below.
4. Click Apply, and then save your settings to flash memory.

Internal SRV Table Parameter Descriptions

Parameter

Description

General

'Index'

Defines an index number for the new table row.

Note: Each row must be configured with a unique index.

'Domain Name'

domain-name

[Srv2Ip_InternalDomain]

Defines the hostname to be translated.

The valid value is a string of up to 31 characters. By default, no value is defined.

'Transport Type'

transport-type

[Srv2Ip_TransportType]

Defines the transport type.

[0] UDP (default)
[1] TCP
[2] TLS

1st/2nd/3rd Entry

'DNS Name (1-3)'

dns-name-1|2|3

[Srv2Ip_Dns1/2/3]

Defines the first, second or third DNS A-Record to which the hostname is translated.

By default, no value is defined.

'Priority (1-3)'

priority-1|2|3

[Srv2Ip_Priority1/2/3]

Defines the priority of the target host. A lower value means that it is more preferred.

By default, no value is defined.

'Weight (1-3)'

weight-1|2|3

[Srv2Ip_Weight1/2/3]

Defines a relative weight for records with the same priority.

By default, no value is defined.

'Port (1-3)'

port-1|2|3

[Srv2Ip_Port1/2/3]
