RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Michael Gregg 2013-01-16 23:17:25 UTC
Description of problem:
Going from the document here:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/17/html/FreeIPA_Guide/config-forwarders.html#zone-forwarder

The example given for configuring a zone specific forwarder is:
"[jsmith@server ~]$ ipa dnszone-mod --forwarder=1.2.3.4;255.255.255.255
example.com"

This should not work as there is a semicolon in the doc.

It appears as though this should be a comma, and not a semicolon. 

Also, could the example be broken out a bit more please? Something like:

The format will be similar to: 
$ ipa dnszone-mod --forwarder=<server 1>,<server 2> example.com

Example:
$ ipa dnszone-mod --forwarder=1.2.3.4,10.34.22.80 example.com

I think the 255.255.255.255 is just a second server, I am not sure why you would have a IP mask in the forwarder list.

Comment 2 Petr Spacek 2013-01-17 14:59:09 UTC
Proper syntax is:
"ipa dnszone-mod --forwarder=203.0.113.8 --forwarder=192.0.2.33 example.com"

"255.255.255.255" is very misleading example. This item should be normal IP address.


These blocks of IPv4 and IPv6 address are reserved purely for use in documentation:

For IPv4 - according to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5737:
192.0.2.0/24 (TEST-NET-1)
198.51.100.0/24 (TEST-NET-2)
203.0.113.0/24 (TEST-NET-3)

For IPv6 - according to http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3849:
2001:DB8::/32

Please try to use those blocks for new texts and when correcting older texts. Please don't forget to redact IP addresses shown in output of the "ipa dnszone-mod" command after "Zone forwarders:" prefix.

Comment 5 Deon Ballard 2014-05-10 03:43:27 UTC
Mass closure of bugs modified in 2013. All of these are in the currently-published docs.
