Updating a Secondary DNS Zone

Update the master server IP information for a secondary domain name service (DNS) zone.

Configure your external primary DNS servers to accept zone-transfer requests from the OCI zone-transfer addresses displayed in the Console for your selected region. These addresses vary by region.

Information such as zone name and type aren't editable after you create a zone.

To update zone records for a primary zone, see Changing DNS Zone Records.

For general information, see the DNS service overview

    1. On the Public zones list page, select the zone you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page, see Listing DNS Zones.
    2. Select Upstream servers.
    3. Select Manage upstream servers.
    4. Make the changes to the existing upstream server information.
    5. (Optional) Select Add additional server IP to add another server IP address.
    6. Select Submit.

  • Use the zone update command and required parameters to update the master server IP addresses of a secondary zone:

    oci dns zone update --zone-name-or-id zone_name or zone_OCID --external-masters  '[{"address":"new_external_server_ip"}]' ... [OPTIONS]

    For a complete list of flags and variable options for CLI commands, see the CLI Command Reference.
