drpcli zones

Manage DRP zones for DNS and DHCP network segmentation

Synopsis

Zones are network segmentation objects used for DNS and DHCP scoping in DigitalRebar Provision.

Each zone represents a DNS zone (a domain namespace) and can contain DNS resource records. Zones integrate with the DRP DHCP and DNS subsystems to provide automatic DNS registration and resolution for managed machines.

A zone includes:

  • Name - the DNS zone name (e.g. example.com)
  • Origin - the authoritative domain origin for the zone
  • Records - the set of DNS resource records (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, etc.)

Additional subcommands allow importing RFC 1035 zone files, viewing the rendered zone table, setting the origin, and managing individual DNS records.

Common operations:

  • drpcli zones list - list all defined zones
  • drpcli zones show <name> - display a specific zone and its records
  • drpcli zones create <json> - create a new zone
  • drpcli zones update <name> <json> - update an existing zone
  • drpcli zones destroy <name> - remove a zone
  • drpcli zones import <file> - import an RFC 1035 zone file
  • drpcli zones records add <id> <type> <name> <value> - add a DNS record
  • drpcli zones records remove <id> <type> <name> - remove a DNS record
