DNS/DHCP Management Console

Export DNS Database

Export DNS database operation transfers the resource record data of a zone to a text file. The text file is in the DNS BIND master file format. These files can be used in other DNS servers, including BIND servers, or they can be imported back into the eDirectoryTM database using the DNS/DHCP Java*-based Management Console.

To export DNS files:

  1. In the DNS Service window, select the zone you want to export and click Export DNS Database on the tool bar.

  2. In the Export - DNS window, enter the name of a destination file or browse to select a filename from the dialog box.

  3. Click on Export to store your zone data in a file.

    If the export program encounters any error, the Details button is enabled. Click Details to view the error details.
