  • DNS Zones Overview
    DNS Zones Overview A DNS zone is the contiguous portion of the DNS domain name space over which a DNS server has authority. A zone is a portion of a namespace. It is not a domain. A domain is a branch of the DNS namespace. A DNS zone can contain one or more contiguous domains. A DNS server can be authoritative for multiple DNS zones. A non-contiguous namespace cannot be a DNS zone. A zone contains the resource records for all of the names within the particular zone. Zone files are used if DNS data is not integrated with Active Directory. The zone files contain the DNS database resource records that define the zone. If DNS and Active Directory are integrated, then DNS data is stored in Active Directory. The different types of zones used in Windows Server 2003 DNS are listed below: Primary zone Secondary zone Active Directory-integrated zone Reverse lookup zone Stub zone A primary zone is the only zone type that can be edited or updated because the data in the zone is the original source of the data for all domains in the zone. Updates made to the primary zone are made by the DNS server that is authoritative for the specific primary zone. Users can also back up data from a primary zone to a secondary zone. A secondary zone is a read-only copy of the zone that was copied from the master server during zone transfer. In fact, a secondary zone can only be updated through zone transfer. An Active Directory-integrated zone is a zone that stores its data in Active Directory.

  • Configuring DNS
    Configuring DNS The Domain Name System (DNS) is a distributed database in which you can map hostnames to IP addresses through the DNS protocol from a DNS server. Each unique IP address can have an associated hostname. The Cisco IOS software maintains a cache of hostname-to-address mappings for use by the connect, telnet, and ping EXEC commands, and related Telnet support operations. This cache speeds the process of converting names to addresses. Note You can specify IPv4 and IPv6 addresses while performing various tasks in this feature. The resource record type AAAA is used to map a domain name to an IPv6 address. The IP6.ARPA domain is defined to look up a record given an IPv6 address. • Finding Feature Information, page 1 • Prerequisites for Configuring DNS, page 2 • Information About DNS, page 2 • How to Configure DNS, page 4 • Configuration Examples for DNS, page 13 • Additional References, page 14 • Feature Information for DNS, page 15 Finding Feature Information Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module.

  • V6.5 Data Sheet
    Data Sheet Blue Prism Network Connectivity To ensure compatibility with evolving network infrastructures, Blue Prism can be deployed in environments that utilize IPv4 or IPv6 network protocols for all connections as well as those that use a hybrid approach, utilizing a combination of both protocols. This allows all Blue Prism components - Runtimes, Clients, Application Servers - to connect using the preferred or most suitable method. Resource connectivity When establishing connections to Runtime Resources, Blue Prism uses the name specified in the DNS. This is based on the machine name and can either the short name or the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). If a Resource has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in the DNS, the network adapter settings of the connecting device (Application Server, Interactive Client, or Resource) are used to determine which IP address should be used to establish the connection: 1. The connecting device defaults to an IPv6 connection. 2. If an IPv6 connection is not established within 1.5 seconds and if the connecting device has multiple IPv6 addresses listed in the DNS, a connection attempt is made using the next available IPv6 address. 3. If an IPv6 connection is not established, the connecting device automatically attempts to connect using IPv4. 4. If all available IPv4 addresses have been tried without success, the Resource is considered unreachable.

  • What Is UNIX? the Directory Structure Basic Commands Find
    What is UNIX? UNIX is an operating system like Windows on our computers. By operating system, we mean the suite of programs which make the computer work. It is a stable, multi-user, multi-tasking system for servers, desktops and laptops. The Directory Structure All the files are grouped together in the directory structure. The file-system is arranged in a hierarchical structure, like an inverted tree. The top of the hierarchy is traditionally called root (written as a slash / ) Basic commands When you first login, your current working directory is your home directory. In UNIX (.) means the current directory and (..) means the parent of the current directory. find command The find command is used to locate files on a Unix or Linux system. find will search any set of directories you specify for files that match the supplied search criteria. The syntax looks like this: find where-to-look criteria what-to-do All arguments to find are optional, and there are defaults for all parts. where-to-look defaults to . (that is, the current working directory), criteria defaults to none (that is, select all files), and what-to-do (known as the find action) defaults to ‑print (that is, display the names of found files to standard output). Examples: find . –name *.txt (finds all the files ending with txt in current directory and subdirectories) find . -mtime 1 (find all the files modified exact 1 day) find . -mtime -1 (find all the files modified less than 1 day) find . -mtime +1 (find all the files modified more than 1 day) find .

  • Empirical Analysis of the Effects and the Mitigation of Ipv4 Address Exhaustion
    TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT BERLIN FAKULTÄT FÜR ELEKTROTECHNIK UND INFORMATIK LEHRSTUHL FÜR INTELLIGENTE NETZE UND MANAGEMENT VERTEILTER SYSTEME Empirical Analysis of the Effects and the Mitigation of IPv4 Address Exhaustion vorgelegt von M.Sc. Philipp Richter geboren in Berlin von der Fakultät IV – Elektrotechnik und Informatik der Technischen Universität Berlin zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades DOKTOR DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN -DR. RER. NAT.- genehmigte Dissertation Promotionsausschuss: Vorsitzender: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Sebastian Möller, Technische Universität Berlin Gutachterin: Prof. Anja Feldmann, Ph.D., Technische Universität Berlin Gutachter: Prof. Vern Paxson, Ph.D., University of California, Berkeley Gutachter: Prof. Steve Uhlig, Ph.D., Queen Mary University of London Tag der wissenschaftlichen Aussprache: 2. August 2017 Berlin 2017 Abstract IP addresses are essential resources for communication over the Internet. In IP version 4, an address is represented by 32 bits in the IPv4 header; hence there is a finite pool of roughly 4B addresses available. The Internet now faces a fundamental resource scarcity problem: The exhaustion of the available IPv4 address space. In 2011, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) depleted its pool of available IPv4 addresses. IPv4 scarcity is now reality. In the subsequent years, IPv4 address scarcity has started to put substantial economic pressure on the networks that form the Internet. The pools of available IPv4 addresses are mostly depleted and today network operators have to find new ways to satisfy their ongoing demand for IPv4 addresses. Mitigating IPv4 scarcity is not optional, but mandatory: Networks facing address shortage have to take action in order to be able to accommodate additional subscribers and customers. Thus, if not confronted, IPv4 scarcity has the potential to hinder further growth of the Internet.

  • Service (SRV) Records
    Service (SRV) Records You deploy multiple DNS SRV records in different locations on your enterprise DNS structure. Understand which records you should provision on which name servers. Review examples of SRV records to ensure a successful deployment. • Deploy SRV Records, page 1 • SRV Records, page 4 Deploy SRV Records The client queries name servers for records in the services domain. The services domain is determined as described in How the Client Discovers Available Services. You must deploy SRV records in each DNS zone for those service domains if your organization has multiple subsets of users who use different service domains. Deploy SRV Records in a Separate Domain Structure In a separate name design there are two domains, an internal domain and an external domain. The client queries for SRV records in the services domain. The internal name server must serve records for the services domain. However in a separate name design, a zone for the services domain might not exist on the internal name server. If the services domain is not currently served by the internal name server, you can: • Deploy records within an internal zone for the services domain. • Deploy records within a pinpoint subdomain zone on the internal name server. Use an Internal Zone for a Services Domain If you do not already have a zone for the services domain on the internal name server, you can create one. This method makes the internal name server authoritative for the services domain. Because it is authoritative, the internal name server does not forward queries to any other name server.
