Modifying a AAAA Record

An AAAA (quad A address) record maps a domain name to an IPv6 address. To define a specific name-to-address mapping, add an AAAA record to a previously defined authoritative forward-mapping zone. 

To create an AAAA 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 AAAA Record from the drop-down list.

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

• Name: Enter a name for the AAAA record.
• Select Zone: Select an associated zone from the column selector.
• IP Address: Enter an IPv6 IP address.
• Description: Enter a descriptive comment about the AAAA Record.
• Create associated PTR record: Select the check box to create an associated PTR record. 
  • Create AAAA record only if PTR record is successfully created: Select this check box if you want to create an AAAA record only if the PTR record is successfully created. If you select this check box, an AAAA record will not be created if the creation of a PTR record is unsuccessful. 
    
• 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.
