Configuring DNS Servers

Universal DDI allows you to configure an existing NIOS-X Server as a DNS server. The DNS server can then be included in a DNS zone as an Authoritative DNS server. For more information, see Configuring DNS Zones. Based on your licensing, you can enable the DNS service on the NIOS-X Server.  Once the DNS service has been enabled on the NIOS-X Server, you can configure additional settings on the DNS Servers page. 

The existing list of DNS servers can be viewed at Configure > Networking > DNS > DNS Servers. This page does not allow you to create new DNS servers. 

You can also perform the following in this tab:

• Click the menu button, , to reorder the columns or to select the columns to be displayed.

• Click the menu button, , and then Edit, or select the check box for the respective record, and then click Edit to modify a DNS server.

• Select a DNS server to view respective information such as DNS Name, NIOS-X Server IP Address, DNS Config Profile, Description, DNS, DNS Forwarding Proxy, and filter. If you do not want to view the details in the right panel, click the information button, .
  

• Enter the value that you want to search in the Search text box. Universal DDI displays the list of records matching the keyword in the text box.

• Click the filter button, , to filter the objects by DNS Name, NIOS-X Server IP Address, NIOS-X Server, DNS Config Profile, Description, and tags. To save a filter after selecting the required parameters click the save icon, , specify a name for the filter, and click Save & Close. To reload a previously saved filter, click the star button, , and select the required filter.
