The NetBox DNS plugin enables NetBox to manage operational DNS data such as name servers, zones, records and views, as well as registration data for domains. It can automate tasks like creating PTR records, generating zone serial numbers, NS and SOA records, as well as validate names and values values for resource records to ensure zone data is consistent, current and conforming to the relevant RFCs.
- Manage name servers, zones and records
- Automatically generate SOA and NS records for zones
- Automatically create and update PTR records for IPv4 and IPv6 address records
- Organize DNS zones in views for split horizon DNS and multi-site deployments
- Manage domain registrar and registrant information for domains related to zones
- Manage RFC2317 reverse zones for IPv4 prefixes with a network mask length longer than 24 bits
NetBox DNS is using the standardized NetBox plugin interface, so it also takes advantage of the NetBox tagging and change log features.
