Universal DDI supports the ability to create and manage SVCB and HTTPS resource records in DNS. These records can be placed at the apex of a zone allowing for the aliasing of a server pool. Currently, only the AliasMode of these types of records can be created. For more information, see Controlling DNS Queries.

To create an SVCB Record, complete the following:

  1. From the Infoblox Portal, click Configure > Networking > DNS > Zones.

  2. Click the DNS view.

  3. Click the zone.

  4. Click Create > Record and select SVCB Record from the drop-down list.

On the Create SVCB Record page, specify the following and click Save & Close:

  • Name: Enter a name for the record. 

  • Select Zone: Select an associated zone from the column selector.

  • Target Name: Specify the target name for the SVCB Record. 

  • SvcPriority: Only Alias Mode SVCB Resource Records are currently supported. SvcPriority is always 0.

  • Description: Enter a descriptive comment about the SVCB Record.

  • TTL: Enter a numeric value and select Hours, Minutes, or Seconds from the drop-down.

  • Disable for DNS Protocol: Click this check box to temporarily disable for DNS Protocol.

  • Tags: Click Add to associate keys with values. Specify the following details:

    • KEY: Enter a meaningful name for the key, such as a location or a department. 

    • VALUE: Enter a value for the key such as San Jose (for location), or Accounts (for department).  

    • To remove a tag, select the respective check box and click Remove to delete the associated tag. For more information about tags, see Managing Tags.
