Cisco Network Registrar via the CLI

Can't get the GUI running then use the command line.

/export1/nwreg2/usrbin/nrcmd 

List the zones available:

nrcmd> zone list 

List the records in the knon.dtv zone:

nrcmd> zone knon.dtv listrr 

List the records in a reverse lookup zone:

nrcmd> zone 10.in-addr.arpa listrr 

This example adds myhost.knon.dtv / 10.2.3.4.
Add the hostname to the knon.dtv zone:

nrcmd> zone knon.dtv. addhost myhost 10.2.3.4 

Add the corresponding PTR record (done automatically with the GUI):

nrcmd> zone 10.in-addr.arpa. addrr 4.3.2 PTR myhost.knon.dtv

Tip: To remove resource records

nrcmd> zone 10.in-addr.arpa. removerr 4.3.2.10.in-addr.arpa

Save your records & reload the DNS to activate:

nrcmd> save
nrcmd> dns reload

To force the secondary DNS to update the zone with your new records, log onto it and execute:

nrcmd> zone knon.dtv forceXfer secondary
nrcmd> zone 10.in-addr.arpa forceXfer secondary

 Don't forget to refresh the secondary DNS caches to pick up the new records:

rndc reload lang.dtv
rndc reload 10.in-addr.arpa
