Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. To specify a source interface for the public network, do not use this option.

Usage guidelines

This configuration applies to both IPv4 and IPv6.

In IPv4 DNS, the device uses the primary IPv4 address of the specified source interface as the source IP address of a DNS query. In IPv6 DNS, the device selects an IPv6 address of the specified source interface as the source IP address of a DNS query. The method of selecting the IPv6 address is defined in RFC 3484.

The system allows only one source interface for the public network or each VPN instance. If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect. You can specify source interfaces for both public network and VPN instances.

This command takes effect whether the source interface belongs to the VPN instance or not. As a best practice, specify an interface that belongs to the VPN instance as the source interface.

Examples

# Specify VLAN-interface 2 as the source interface for DNS packets on the public network.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] dns source-interface vlan-interface 2

dns spoofing

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

ip-address: Specifies the IPv4 address used to spoof DNS requests.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. To enable DNS spoofing for the public network, do not specify this option.

Usage guidelines

Use the dns spoofing command together with the dns proxy enable command.

DNS spoofing functions when the DNS proxy does not know the DNS server address or cannot reach the DNS server. It enables the DNS proxy to spoof DNS queries of type A by responding with the specified IPv4 address.

The system allows only one replied IPv4 address for the public network or each VPN instance. If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect. You can configure DNS spoofing for both public network and VPN instances.

Examples

# Enable DNS spoofing for the public network and specify IPv4 address 1.1.1.1 for spoofing DNS requests.

dns trust-interface

Use dns trust-interface to specify a DNS trusted interface.

Use undo dns trust-interface to remove a DNS trusted interface.

Syntax

dns trust-interface interface-type interface-number

undo dns trust-interface [ interface-type interface-number ]

Default

No DNS trusted interface is specified.

Views

System view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

interface-type interface-number: Specifies an interface by its type and number.

Usage guidelines

By default, an interface obtains DNS suffix and DNS server information from DHCP. A network attacker might act as the DHCP server to assign a wrong DNS suffix and DNS server address to the device. As a result, the device fails to obtain the resolved IP address or might get the wrong IP address. With the DNS trusted interface specified, the device only uses the DNS suffix and DNS server information obtained through the trusted interface to avoid attacks.

This configuration applies to both IPv4 DNS and IPv6 DNS.

You can configure a maximum of 128 DNS trusted interfaces on the device.

If you do not specify an interface, the undo dns trust-interface command removes all DNS trusted interfaces and restores the default.

Examples

# Specify VLAN-interface 2 as a DNS trusted interface.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] dns trust-interface vlan-interface 2

ip host

Parameters

host-name: Specifies a host name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 253 characters that can contain letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and dots (.).

ip-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the host.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. To create a host name-to-IP address mapping for the public network, do not specify this option.

Usage guidelines

The system allows a maximum of 1024 host name-to-IPv4 address mappings for the public network or each VPN instance. You can configure host name-to-IPv4 address mappings for both public network and VPN instances.

For the public network‌ or a VPN instance, each host name maps to only one IPv4 address. If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Do not use the ping command parameter -vpn-instance, ip, -a, -c, -f, -h, -i, -m, -n, -p, -q, -r, -s, -t, -tos, or -v as the host name. For more information about the ping command parameters, see Network Management and Monitoring Command Reference.

When you specify a host name, make sure the following conditions are met:

· The host name is a dot-separated string and each separated string includes no more than 63 characters.

· The host name cannot start or end with a dot (.).

· The host name cannot contain two consecutive dots (.). If the host name contains two consecutive dots (.), the configuration can be deployed successfully but the host name cannot be resolved because it is invalid.

Parameters

days: Days in the range of 0 to 365.

hours: Hours in the range of 0 to 23.

minutes: Minutes in the range of 0 to 59.

Usage guidelines

Whether the interval is reached or not, a DDNS update request is initiated immediately if either of the following conditions occurs:

· The primary IP address of the interface changes.

· The link state of the interface changes from down to up.

If you set the interval to 0, the device does not periodically initiate DDNS update requests. However, it initiates a DDNS update request in either of the following situations:

· The primary IP address of the interface changes.

· The link state of the interface changes from down to up.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect. If you change the interval for an applied DDNS policy, the device immediately initiates a DDNS update request and sets the interval as the update interval.

Parameters

request-url: Specifies the URL address, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 240 characters.

Usage guidelines

The URL addresses configured for update requests vary by DDNS server. Common DDNS server URL address formats are shown in Table 6.

Table 6 Common URL addresses for DDNS update request

DDNS server	URL addresses for DDNS update requests
www.3322.org	http://members.3322.org/dyndns/update?system=dyndns&hostname=<h>&myip=<a>
DYNDNS	http://members.dyndns.org/nic/update?system=dyndns&hostname=<h>&myip=<a>

CHANGE-IP	http://nic.changeip.com/nic/update?hostname=<h>&offline=1
NO-IP	http://dynupdate.no-ip.com/nic/update?hostname=<h>&myip=<a>
DHS	http://members.dhs.org/nic/hosts?domain=dyn.dhs.org&hostname=<h>&hostscmd=edit&hostscmdstage=2&type=1&ip=<a>
HP	https://server-name/nic/update?group=group-name&myip=<a>
ODS	ods://update.ods.org
GNUDIP	gnudip://server-name
PeanutHull	· oray://phddns60.oray.net · oray://phservice2.oray.net

The URL address cannot contain the username or password. To configure the username and password, use the username command and the password command.

HP and GNUDIP are common DDNS update protocols. The server-name parameter is the domain name or IP address of the service provider's server using one of the update protocols.

The URL address for an update request can start with:

· http://—The HTTP-based DDNS server.

· https://—The HTTPS-based DDNS server.

· ods://—The TCP-based ODS server.

· gnudip://—The TCP-based GNUDIP server.

· oray://—The TCP-based DDNS server.

The domain names of DDNS servers are members.3322.org and phddns60.oray.net. The domain names of PeanutHull DDNS servers can be phddns60.oray.net and phservice2.oray.net. The domain name phservice2.oray.net maps to the public IP address of the old version PeanutHull DDNS server, which is not maintained any more. You need to try several times upon failures to connect to the server. As a best practice, register a new account and a domain name on the PeanutHull DDNS of a new version. Determine the domain name in the URL according to the actual situation.

The port number in the URL address is optional. If you do not specify a port number, the default port number is used. HTTP uses port 80, HTTPS uses port 443, and the PeanutHull server uses port 6060.

The system automatically performs the following tasks:

· Fills <h> with the FQDN that is specified when the DDNS policy is applied to an interface.

· Fills <a> with the primary IP address of the interface to which the DDNS policy is applied.

You can also manually specify an FQDN and an IP address in <h> and <a>, respectively. In this case, the FQDN that is specified when the DDNS policy is applied to an interface will not take effect. As a best practice, do not manually change the <h> and <a> because your configuration might be incorrect.

You cannot specify an FQDN and IP address in the URL address for contacting the PeanutHull server. Alternatively, you can specify an FQDN when applying the DDNS policy to an interface. The system automatically uses the primary IP address of the interface to which the DDNS policy is applied as the IP address for DDNS update.

To avoid misinterpretation, do not include colons (:), at signs (@), and question marks (?) in your login username or password, even if you can do so.

If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

# Specify the URL address for DDNS update requests for DDNS policy steven_policy. The device contacts www.3322.org for DDNS update.
