- <para>
- BIND is the popular implementation of a DNS server, developer
- interfaces, and DNS tools.
- BIND 10 is a rewrite of BIND 9 and ISC DHCP.
- BIND 10 is written in C++ and Python and provides a modular
- environment for serving, maintaining, and developing DNS and DHCP.
- BIND 10 provides a EDNS0- and DNSSEC-capable authoritative
- DNS server and a caching recursive name server which also
- provides forwarding.
- It also provides experimental DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 servers.
- </para>
- <para>
- This guide covers the experimental prototype of
- BIND 10 version &__VERSION__;.

- <command>b10-msgq</command> and <command>b10-cfgmgr</command>

- The <varname>special</varname> setting is for components
- that need some kind of special care during startup or
- shutdown. Unless specified, the component is started in a

- started in a special way, with the value of special used
- for them:

- <para>
- The <varname>kind</varname> specifies how a failure of the
- component should be handled. If it is set to
- <quote>dispensable</quote> (the default unless you set
- something else), it will get started again if it fails. If
- it is set to <quote>needed</quote> and it fails at startup,
- the whole <command>bind10</command> shuts down and exits
- with an error exit code. But if it fails some time later, it
- is just started again. If you set it to <quote>core</quote>,
- you indicate that the system is not usable without the
- component and if such component fails, the system shuts
- down no matter when the failure happened. This is the
- behaviour of the core components (the ones you can't turn
- off), but you can declare any other components as core as
- well if you wish (but you can turn these off, they just
- can't fail).
- </para>
- <para>
- The <varname>priority</varname> defines order in which the
- components should start. The ones with higher numbers are
- started sooner than the ones with lower ones. If you don't
- set it, 0 (zero) is used as the priority. Usually, leaving
- it at the default is enough.
- </para>
- <para>
- There are other parameters we didn't use in our example.
- One of them is <varname>address</varname>. It is the address
- used by the component on the <command>b10-msgq</command>
- message bus. The special components already know their
- address, but the usual ones don't. The address is by
- convention the thing after <emphasis>b10-</emphasis>, with
- the first letter capitalized (eg. <command>b10-stats</command>
- would have <quote>Stats</quote> as its address).

- <!-- TODO: document params when is enabled -->
- <para>
- The last one is <varname>process</varname>. It is the name
- of the process to be started. It defaults to the name of
- the component if not set, but you can use this to override
- it. (The special components also already know their
- executable name.)
- </para>
- <!-- TODO Add parameters when they work, not implemented yet-->
- <note>
- <para>
- The configuration is quite powerful, but that includes
- a lot of space for mistakes. You could turn off the
- <command>b10-cmdctl</command>, but then you couldn't
- change it back the usual way, as it would require it to
- be running (you would have to find and edit the configuration
- directly). Also, some modules might have dependencies:
- <command>b10-stats-httpd</command> needs
- <command>b10-stats</command>, <command>b10-xfrout</command>
- needs <command>b10-auth</command> to be running, etc.
- <!-- TODO: should we define dependencies? -->
- </para>
- <para>
- In short, you should think twice before disabling something here.
- </para>
- </note>
- <para>
- It is possible to start some components multiple times (currently
- <command>b10-auth</command> and <command>b10-resolver</command>).
- You might want to do that to gain more performance (each one uses only
- single core). Just put multiple entries under different names, like
- this, with the same config:
- <screen>> <userinput>config add Boss/components b10-resolver-2</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver-2/special resolver</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-resolver-2/kind needed</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>

- <title>General syntax of bindctl commands</title>
- The bindctl tool is an interactive command-line tool, with dynamic
- commands depending on the modules that are running. There are a
- number of fixed commands that have no module and that are always
- available.
- The general syntax of a command is
- <screen><userinput><module> <command> [argument(s)]</userinput></screen>
- Example:
- The Boss module has a shutdown command to shut down BIND 10, with an optional argument 'help':
- <screen><userinput>> Boss shutdown help</userinput>
- Command shutdown (Shut down BIND 10)
- help (Get help for command)
- This command has no parameters
- </screen>
- There are no mandatory arguments, only the optional 'help'.
- </section>
- <section id="bindctl_help">
- <title>Bindctl help</title>
- <command>help</command> is both a command and an option that is available to all other commands. When run as a command directly, it shows the available modules.
- <screen><userinput>> help</userinput>
- usage: <module name> <command name> [param1 = value1 [, param2 = value2]]
- Type Tab character to get the hint of module/command/parameters.
- Type "help(? h)" for help on bindctl.
- Type "<module_name> help" for help on the specific module.
- Type "<module_name> <command_name> help" for help on the specific command.
- Available module names:
- (list of modules)
- </screen>
- When run as a command to a module, it shows the commands that module supports:
- <screen><userinput>> Boss help</userinput>
- Module Boss Master process
- Available commands:
- help Get help for module.
- shutdown Shut down BIND 10
- ping Ping the boss process
- show_processes
- List the running BIND 10 processes
- </screen>
- And when added to a module command, it shows the description and parameters of that command:
- <screen><userinput>> Auth loadzone help</userinput>
- Command loadzone ((Re)load a specified zone)
- help (Get help for command)
- Parameters:
- class (string, optional)
- origin (string, mandatory)
- </screen>
- </section>
- <section id="bindctl_command_arguments">
- <title>Command arguments</title>
- The 'loadzone' command of the Auth module, as shown in the last
- example of the previous section, has two arguments, one of which is
- optional. When using positional arguments they are expected to be
- provided in the order in which 'help' gives them, in this case class
- first and origin second; i.e.
- <screen><userinput>> Auth loadzone IN example.com.</userinput></screen>
- But since the class is optional (defaulting to IN), leaving it out
- works as well:
- <screen><userinput>> Auth loadzone example.com.</userinput></screen>
- Arguments can also be provided with their names:
- <screen><userinput>> Auth loadzone origin="example.com." class="IN"</userinput></screen>
- When using this method, the order does not matter.
- </section>
- <section id="bindctl_module_commands">
- <title>Module commands</title>
- Each module has its own set of commands (if any), which will only be
- available if the module is running. For instance, Auth has a
- 'loadzone' command. The commands a module provides are documented in
- the section of that module.
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Configuration commands</title>
- Configuration commands are used to view and change the configuration
- of BIND 10 and its modules. Module configuration is only shown if
- that module is running, but similar to modules, there are a number
- of top-level configuration items that are always available (for
- instance tsig_keys and data_sources).
- Configuration changes (set, unset, add and remove) are done locally
- first, and have no immediate effect. The changes can be viewed with
- 'config diff', and either reverted (config revert), or committed
- (config commit). In the latter case, all local changes are submitted
- to the configuration manager, which verifies them, and if they are
- accepted, applied and saved in persistent storage.
- When identifying items in configuration commands, the format is
- <screen><userinput>Module/example/item</userinput></screen>
- Sub-elements of names, lists and sets are separated with the '/'
- character, and list indices are identified with [<index>].
- <screen><userinput>Module/example/list[2]/foo</userinput></screen>

- <term>maps</term>
- <listitem>
- <simpara>
- Maps are compound collections of other elements of
- any other type. They are not usually modified
- directly, but their elements are; Every top-level
- element for a module is a map containing the
- configuration values for that map, which can
- themselves be maps again. For instance, the Auth
- module is a map containing the elements 'listen_on'
- (list) and 'tcp_recv_timeout' (integer). When
- changing one of its values, they can be modified
- directly with <command>config set Auth/tcp_recv_timeout 3000</command>.
- </simpara>
- <simpara>
- Maps *can* be modified as a whole, but using the
- full JSON representation of the entire map to set.
- Since this involves a lot of text, this is usually
- not recommended.
- </simpara>
- <simpara>
- Another example is the Logging virtual module, which
- is, like any module, a map, but it only contains one
- element; a list of loggers. Normally, an
- administrator would only modify that list (or its
- elements) directly, but it is possible to set the
- entire map in one command:
- Example: <command> config set Logging { "loggers": [] } </command>
- </simpara>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>list</term>
- <listitem>
- <simpara>
- A list is a compound list of other elements of the
- same type; It can be modified by the <command>config
- add <list name> [value]</command> and
- <command>config remove <list name> [value]</command> or
- <command>config remove <list name>[<index>]</command>
- , to add and remove elements. For addition, if the value is omitted, an entry with default values will be added. For removal, either the index or the full value (in JSON format) needs to be specified.
- </simpara>
- <simpara>
- Lists can also be used with <command>config set
- </command>, but like maps, only by specifying the
- entire list value in JSON format.
- </simpara>

- <varlistentry>
- <term>named set</term>
- <listitem>
- <simpara>
- Named sets are similar to lists, in that they are
- sets of elements of the same type, but they are not
- indexed by numbers, but by strings.
- </simpara>
- <simpara>
- Values can be added with
- <command>config add <item name> <string> [value]</command>
- Where 'string' is the name of the element. If value
- is ommitted, default values will be used. Elements
- can be removed with <command>config remove <item

- <title>The execute command</title>
- The execute command executes a set of commands, either from a file

- init_authoritative_server, which adds b10-auth, b10-xfrin, and
- b10-xfrout to the set of components to be started by BIND 10. This
- pre-defined set does not commit the changes, so these modules do not
- show up for commands or configuration until the user enters 'config
- commit' after 'execute init_authoritative_server'
- Example:
- <screen><userinput>> execute init_authoritative_server</userinput></screen>
- <screen><userinput>> execute file /tmp/example_commands</userinput></screen>
- There is an optional argument 'show', which shows the exact set of
- commands that would be executed.

- Within scripts, you can add or remove modules with the normal

- configuration and commands do not show up until the module is
- running, it is currently not possible to add a module and set
- its configuration in one script. This will be addressed in the
- future, but for now the only option is to add and configure
- modules in separate commands and execute scripts.

- sends a configuration, it is sent to <command>b10-cmdctl</command>

- <title>TSIG keys</title>
- <para>
- TSIG is a way to sign requests and responses in DNS. It is defined in
- RFC 2845 and uses symmetric cryptography to sign the DNS messages. If
- you want to make any use of TSIG (to authenticate transfers or DDNS,
- for example), you need to set up shared secrets between the endpoints.
- </para>
- <para>
- BIND 10 uses a global key ring for the secrets. It doesn't currently
- mean they would be stored differently, they are just in one place of
- the configuration.
- </para>
- <section id='tsig-key-syntax'>
- <title>Key anatomy and syntax</title>
- <para>
- Each key has three attributes. One is a name by which it is referred
- both in DNS packets and the rest of the configuration. Another is the
- algorithm used to compute the signature. And the last part is a
- base64 encoded secret, which might be any blob of data.
- </para>
- <para>
- The parts are written into a string, concatenated together by colons.
- So if you wanted to have a key called "example.key", used as a
- HMAC-MD5 key with secret "secret", you'd write it as:
- <screen>"example.key.:c2VjcmV0:hmac-md5"</screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- The HMAC-MD5 algorithm is the default, so you can omit it. You could
- write the same key as:
- <screen>"example.key.:c2VjcmV0"</screen>

- <section id='tsig-key-ring'>
- <title>Key ring</title>
- <para>
- The key ring lives in the configuration in "tsig_keys/keys". Most of
- the system uses the keys from there — ACLs, authoritative server to
- sign responses to signed queries, and <command>b10-xfrout</command>
- to sign transfers. The <command>b10-xfrin</command> uses its own

- <title>ACLs</title>
- <para>
- An ACL, or Access Control List, is a way to describe if a request
- is allowed or disallowed. The principle is, there's a list of rules.
- Each rule is a name-value mapping (a dictionary, in the JSON
- terminology). Each rule must contain exactly one mapping called
- "action", which describes what should happen if the rule applies.
- There may be more mappings, calld matches, which describe the
- conditions under which the rule applies.
- </para>
- <para>
- When there's a query, the first rule is examined. If it matches, the
- action in it is taken. If not, next rule is examined. If there are no
- more rules to examine, a default action is taken.
- </para>
- <para>
- There are three possible "action" values. The "ACCEPT" value means
- the query is handled. If it is "REJECT", the query is not answered,
- but a polite error message is sent back (if that makes sense in the
- context). The "DROP" action acts like a black hole. The query is
- not answered and no error message is sent.
- </para>
- <para>
- If there are multiple matching conditions inside the rule, all of
- them must be satisfied for the rule to apply. This can be used,
- for example, to require the query to be signed by a TSIG key and
- originate from given address.
- </para>
- <para>
- This is encoded in form of JSON. Semi-formal description could look
- something like this. It is described in more details below.
- <!-- FIXME: Is <screen> really the correct one?-->
- <screen>ACL := [ RULE, RULE, ... ]

- <section>
- <title>Matching properties</title>
- <para>
- The first thing you can check against is the source address
- of request. The name is <varname>from</varname> and the value
- is a string containing either a single IPv4 or IPv6 address,
- or a range in the usual slash notation (eg. "192.0.2.0/24").
- </para>
- <para>
- The other is TSIG key by which the message was signed. The ACL
- contains only the name (under the name "key"), the key itself
- must be stored in the global key ring (see <xref
- linkend="tsig-key-ring"/>).
- This property is applicable only to the DNS context.
- </para>
- <para>
- More properties to match are planned — the destination
- address, ports, matches against the packet content.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>More complicated matches</title>
- <para>
- From time to time, you need to express something more complex
- than just a single address or key.
- </para>
- <para>
- You can specify a list of values instead of single value. Then
- the property needs to match at least one of the values listed
- — so you can say <quote>"from": ["192.0.2.0/24",
- "2001:db8::/32"]</quote> to match any address in the ranges
- set aside for documentation. The keys or any future properties
- will work in a similar way.
- </para>
- <para>
- If that is not enough, you can compose the matching conditions
- to logical expressions. They are called "ANY", "ALL" and "NOT".
- The "ANY" and "ALL" ones contain lists of subexpressions —
- each subexpression is a similar dictionary, just not containing
- the "action" element. The "NOT" contains single subexpression.
- Their function should be obvious — "NOT" matches if and
- only if the subexpression does not match. The "ALL" matches exactly
- when each of the subexpressions matches and "ANY" when at least
- one matches.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Examples</title>
- <para>
- All the examples here is just the JSON representing the ACL,
- nicely formatted and split across lines. They are out of any
- surrounding context. This is similar to what you'd get from
- <command>config show_json</command> called on the entry containing
- the ACL.
- </para>
- <para>
- In the first example, the ACL accepts queries from two known hosts.
- Each host has an IP addresses (both IPv4 and IPv6) and a TSIG
- key. Other queries are politely rejected. The last entry in the list
- has no conditions — making it match any query.

- </para></note>
- <para>
- The configuration is located in data_sources/classes. Each item there

- <title>Configuration for Incoming Zone Transfers</title>
- <para>
- In practice, you need to specify a list of secondary zones to
- enable incoming zone transfers for these zones (you can still
- trigger a zone transfer manually, without a prior configuration
- (see below)).
- </para>
- <para>
- For example, to enable zone transfers for a zone named "example.com"
- (whose master address is assumed to be 2001:db8::53 here),
- run the following at the <command>bindctl</command> prompt:
- <screen>> <userinput>config add Xfrin/zones</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/name "<option>example.com</option>"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/master_addr "<option>2001:db8::53</option>"</userinput>

- <section>
- <title>Enabling IXFR</title>
- <para>
- As noted above, <command>b10-xfrin</command> uses AXFR for
- zone transfers by default. To enable IXFR for zone transfers
- for a particular zone, set the <userinput>use_ixfr</userinput>
- configuration parameter to <userinput>true</userinput>.
- In the above example of configuration sequence, you'll need
- to add the following before performing <userinput>commit</userinput>:
- <screen>> <userinput>config set Xfrin/zones[0]/use_ixfr true</userinput></screen>
- </para>
- <!-- TODO: http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/1279 -->
- <note><simpara>
- One reason why IXFR is disabled by default in the current
- release is because it does not support automatic fallback from IXFR to
- AXFR when it encounters a primary server that doesn't support
- outbound IXFR (and, not many existing implementations support
- it). Another, related reason is that it does not use AXFR even
- if it has no knowledge about the zone (like at the very first
- time the secondary server is set up). IXFR requires the
- "current version" of the zone, so obviously it doesn't work
- in this situation and AXFR is the only workable choice.
- The current release of <command>b10-xfrin</command> does not
- make this selection automatically.
- These features will be implemented in a near future
- version, at which point we will enable IXFR by default.

- The <command>b10-ddns</command> component supports requests over

- </para>
- <section>
- <title>Enabling Dynamic Update</title>
- <para>
- First off, it must be made sure that a few components on which
- <command>b10-ddns</command> depends are configured to run,
- which are <command>b10-auth</command>
- and <command>b10-zonemgr</command>.
- In addition, <command>b10-xfrout</command> should also be
- configured to run; otherwise the notification after an update
- (see above) will fail with a timeout, suspending the DDNS
- service while <command>b10-ddns</command> waits for the
- response (see the description of the <ulink
- url="bind10-messages.html#DDNS_UPDATE_NOTIFY_FAIL">DDNS_UPDATE_NOTIFY_FAIL</ulink>
- log message for further details).
- If BIND 10 is already configured to provide authoritative DNS
- service they should normally be configured to run already.
- </para>
- <para>
- Second, for the obvious reason dynamic update requires that the
- underlying data source storing the zone data be writable.
- In the current implementation this means the zone must be stored
- in an SQLite3-based data source.
- Also, in this development version, the <command>b10-ddns</command>
- component configures itself with the data source referring to the
- <varname>database_file</varname> configuration parameter of
- <command>b10-auth</command>.
- So this information must be configured correctly before starting
- <command>b10-ddns</command>.
- <note><simpara>
- The way to configure data sources is now being revised.
- Configuration on the data source for DDNS will be very
- likely to be changed in a backward incompatible manner in
- a near future version.
- </simpara></note>
- </para>
- <para>
- In general, if something goes wrong regarding the dependency
- described above, <command>b10-ddns</command> will log the
- related event at the warning or error level.
- It's advisable to check the log message when you first enable
- DDNS or if it doesn't work as you expect to see if there's any
- warning or error log message.
- </para>
- <para>
- Next, to enable the DDNS service, <command>b10-ddns</command>
- needs to be explicitly configured to run.
- It can be done by using the <command>bindctl</command>
- utility. For example:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Boss/components b10-ddns</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Boss/components/b10-ddns/address DDNS</userinput>

- > <userinput>config commit</userinput>
- </screen>
- <note><simpara>
- In theory <varname>kind</varname> could be omitted because
- "dispensable" is its default.
- But there's some peculiar behavior (which should be a
- bug and should be fixed eventually; see Trac ticket #2064)
- with <command>bindctl</command> and you'll still need to
- specify that explicitly. Likewise, <varname>address</varname>
- may look unnecessary because <command>b10-ddns</command>
- would start and work without specifying it. But for it
- to shutdown gracefully this parameter should also be
- specified.

- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Access Control</title>
- <para>
- By default, <command>b10-ddns</command> rejects any update
- requests from any clients by returning a REFUSED response.
- To allow updates to take effect, an access control rule
- (called update ACL) with a policy allowing updates must explicitly be
- configured.
- Update ACL must be configured per zone basis in the
- <varname>zones</varname> configuration parameter of
- <command>b10-ddns</command>.
- This is a list of per-zone configurations regarding DDNS.
- Each list element consists of the following parameters:
- <variablelist>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>origin</term>
- <listitem>
- <simpara>The zone's origin name</simpara>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>class</term>
- <listitem>
- <simpara>The RR class of the zone
- (normally <quote>IN</quote>, and in that case
- can be omitted in configuration)</simpara>
- </listitem>

- <varlistentry>
- <term>update_acl</term>
- <listitem>
- <simpara>List of access control rules (ACL) for the zone</simpara>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- </variablelist>
- The syntax of the ACL is the same as ACLs for other
- components.
- Specific examples are given below.
- </para>
- <para>
- In general, an update ACL rule that allows an update request
- should be configured with a TSIG key.
- This is an example update ACL that allows updates to the zone
- named <quote>example.org</quote> (of default RR class <quote>IN</quote>)
- from clients that send requests signed with a TSIG whose
- key name is "key.example.org" (and refuses all others):
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add DDNS/zones</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set DDNS/zones[0]/origin example.org</userinput>
- > <userinput>config add DDNS/zones[0]/update_acl {"action": "ACCEPT", "key": "key.example.org"}</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput>
- </screen>
- The TSIG key must be configured system wide
- (see <xref linkend="common-tsig"/>).
- </para>
- <para>
- The full description of ACLs can be found in <xref
- linkend="common-acl" />.
- </para>
- <note><simpara>
- The <command>b10-ddns</command> component accepts an ACL
- rule that just allows updates from a specific IP address
- (i.e., without requiring TSIG), but this is highly
- discouraged (remember that requests can be made over UDP and
- spoofing the source address of a UDP packet is often pretty
- easy).
- Unless you know what you are doing and that you can accept
- its consequence, any update ACL rule that allows updates
- should have a TSIG key in its constraints.
- </simpara></note>
- <para>
- Currently update ACL can only control updates per zone basis;
- it's not possible to specify access control with higher
- granularity such as for particular domain names or specific
- types of RRs.
- <!-- See Trac ticket #2065 -->
- </para>
- <note><simpara>
- Contrary to what RFC 2136 (literally) specifies,
- <command>b10-ddns</command> checks the update ACL before
- checking the prerequisites of the update request.
- This is a deliberate implementation decision.
- This counter intuitive specification has been repeatedly
- discussed among implementers and in the IETF, and it is now
- widely agreed that it does not make sense to strictly follow
- that part of RFC.
- One known specific bad result of following the RFC is that it
- could leak information about which name or record exists or does not
- exist in the zone as a result of prerequisite checks even if a
- zone is somehow configured to reject normal queries from
- arbitrary clients.
- There have been other troubles that could have been avoided if
- the ACL could be checked before the prerequisite check.

- <title>Miscellaneous Operational Issues</title>
- <para>
- Unlike BIND 9, BIND 10 currently does not support automatic
- re-signing of DNSSEC-signed zone when it's updated via DDNS.
- It could be possible to re-sign the updated zone afterwards
- or make sure the update request also updates related DNSSEC
- records, but that will be pretty error-prone operation.
- In general, it's not advisable to allow DDNS for a signed zone
- at this moment.
- </para>
- <para>
- Also unlike BIND 9, it's currently not possible
- to <quote>freeze</quote> a zone temporarily in order to
- suspend DDNS while you manually update the zone.
- If you need to make manual updates to a dynamic zone,
- you'll need to temporarily reject any updates to the zone via
- the update ACLs.
- </para>
- <para>
- Dynamic updates are only applicable to primary zones.
- In order to avoid updating secondary zones via DDNS requests,
- <command>b10-ddns</command> refers to the
- <quote>secondary_zones</quote> configuration of
- <command>b10-zonemgr</command>. Zones listed in
- <quote>secondary_zones</quote> will never be updated via DDNS
- regardless of the update ACL configuration;
- <command>b10-ddns</command> will return a NOTAUTH (server
- not authoritative for the zone) response.
- If you have a "conceptual" secondary zone whose content is a
- copy of some external source but is not updated via the
- standard zone transfers and therefore not listed in
- <quote>secondary_zones</quote>, be careful not to allow DDNS
- for the zone; it would be quite likely to lead to inconsistent
- state between different servers.
- Normally this should not be a problem because the default
- update ACL rejects any update requests, but you may want to
- take an extra care about the configuration if you have such
- type of secondary zones.
- </para>
- <para>
- The difference of two versions of a zone, before and after a
- DDNS transaction, is automatically recorded in the underlying
- data source, and can be retrieved in the form of outbound
- IXFR.
- This is done automatically; it does not require specific
- configuration to make this possible.

- Dhcp6/valid-lifetime 4000 integer (default)
- Dhcp6/subnet6 [] list (default)</screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- To change one of the parameters, simply follow
- the usual <command>bindctl</command> procedure. For example, to make the
- leases longer, change their valid-lifetime parameter:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/valid-lifetime 7200</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
- Please note that most Dhcp6 parameters are of global scope
- and apply to all defined subnets, unless they are overridden on a
- per-subnet basis.
- </para>
- <para>
- The essential role of DHCPv6 server is address assignment. The server
- has to be configured with at least one subnet and one pool of dynamic
- addresses to be managed. For example, assume that the server
- is connected to a network segment that uses the 2001:db8:1::/64
- prefix. The Administrator of that network has decided that addresses from range
- 2001:db8:1::1 to 2001:db8:1::ffff are going to be managed by the Dhcp6
- server. Such a configuration can be achieved in the following way:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/subnet "2001:db8:1::/64"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/pool [ "2001:db8:1::0 - 2001:db8:1::ffff" ]</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
- Note that subnet is defined as a simple string, but the pool parameter
- is actually a list of pools: for this reason, the pool definition is
- enclosed in square brackets, even though only one range of addresses
- is specified.</para>
- <para>It is possible to define more than one pool in a
- subnet: continuing the previous example, further assume that
- 2001:db8:1:0:5::/80 should be also be managed by the server. It could be written as
- 2001:db8:1:0:5:: to 2001:db8:1::5:ffff:ffff:ffff, but typing so many 'f's
- is cumbersome. It can be expressed more simply as 2001:db8:1:0:5::/80. Both
- formats are supported by Dhcp6 and can be mixed in the pool list.
- For example, one could define the following pools:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[0]/pool [ "2001:db8:1::1 - 2001:db8:1::ffff", "2001:db8:1:0:5::/80" ]</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
- The number of pools is not limited, but for performance reasons it is recommended to
- use as few as possible.
- </para>
- <para>
- The server may be configured to serve more than one subnet. To add a second subnet,
- use a command similar to the following:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[1]/subnet "2001:db8:beef::/48"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[1]/pool [ "2001:db8:beef::/48" ]</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
- Arrays are counted from 0. subnet[0] refers to the subnet defined in the
- previous example. The <command>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</command> adds
- another (second) subnet. It can be referred to as
- <command>Dhcp6/subnet6[1]</command>. In this example, we allow server to
- dynamically assign all addresses available in the whole subnet. Although
- very wasteful, it is certainly a valid configuration to dedicate the
- whole /48 subnet for that purpose.
- </para>
- <para>
- When configuring a DHCPv6 server using prefix/length notation, please pay
- attention to the boundary values. When specifying that the server should use
- a given pool, it will be able to allocate also first (typically network
- address) address from that pool. For example for pool 2001:db8::/64 the
- 2001:db8:: address may be assigned as well. If you want to avoid this,
- please use min-max notation.
- </para>
- <para>
- Note: Although configuration is now accepted, it is not internally used
- by they server yet. At this stage of development, the only way to alter
- server configuration is to modify its source code. To do so, please edit
- src/bin/dhcp6/dhcp6_srv.cc file, modify the following parameters and
- recompile:
- <screen>
- const std::string HARDCODED_LEASE = "2001:db8:1::1234:abcd";

- <title>Logging configuration</title>
- <para>
- The logging system in BIND 10 is configured through the
- Logging module. All BIND 10 modules will look at the
- configuration in Logging to see what should be logged and
- to where.
- <!-- TODO: what is context of Logging module for readers of this guide? -->
- </para>
- <section>
- <title>Loggers</title>
- <para>
- Within BIND 10, a message is logged through a component
- called a "logger". Different parts of BIND 10 log messages
- through different loggers, and each logger can be configured
- independently of one another.
- </para>
- <para>
- In the Logging module, you can specify the configuration
- for zero or more loggers; any that are not specified will
- take appropriate default values.
- </para>
- <para>
- The three most important elements of a logger configuration
- are the <option>name</option> (the component that is
- generating the messages), the <option>severity</option>
- (what to log), and the <option>output_options</option>
- (where to log).
- </para>
- <section>
- <title>name (string)</title>
- <para>
- Each logger in the system has a name, the name being that
- of the component using it to log messages. For instance,
- if you want to configure logging for the resolver module,
- you add an entry for a logger named <quote>Resolver</quote>. This
- configuration will then be used by the loggers in the
- Resolver module, and all the libraries used by it.
- </para>
- <!-- TODO: later we will have a way to know names of all modules
- Right now you can only see what their names are if they are running
- (a simple 'help' without anything else in bindctl for instance).
- -->
- <para>
- If you want to specify logging for one specific library
- within the module, you set the name to
- <replaceable>module.library</replaceable>. For example, the
- logger used by the nameserver address store component
- has the full name of <quote>Resolver.nsas</quote>. If
- there is no entry in Logging for a particular library,
- it will use the configuration given for the module.
- <!-- TODO: how to know these specific names?
- We will either have to document them or tell the administrator to
- specify module-wide logging and see what appears...
- -->
- </para>
- <para>
- <!-- TODO: severity has not been covered yet -->
- To illustrate this, suppose you want the cache library
- to log messages of severity DEBUG, and the rest of the
- resolver code to log messages of severity INFO. To achieve
- this you specify two loggers, one with the name
- <quote>Resolver</quote> and severity INFO, and one with
- the name <quote>Resolver.cache</quote> with severity
- DEBUG. As there are no entries for other libraries (e.g.
- the nsas), they will use the configuration for the module
- (<quote>Resolver</quote>), so giving the desired behavior.
- </para>
- <para>
- One special case is that of a module name of <quote>*</quote>
- (asterisks), which is interpreted as <emphasis>any</emphasis>
- module. You can set global logging options by using this,
- including setting the logging configuration for a library
- that is used by multiple modules (e.g. <quote>*.config</quote>
- specifies the configuration library code in whatever
- module is using it).
- </para>
- <para>
- If there are multiple logger specifications in the
- configuration that might match a particular logger, the
- specification with the more specific logger name takes
- precedence. For example, if there are entries for for
- both <quote>*</quote> and <quote>Resolver</quote>, the
- resolver module — and all libraries it uses —
- will log messages according to the configuration in the
- second entry (<quote>Resolver</quote>). All other modules
- will use the configuration of the first entry
- (<quote>*</quote>). If there was also a configuration
- entry for <quote>Resolver.cache</quote>, the cache library
- within the resolver would use that in preference to the
- entry for <quote>Resolver</quote>.
- </para>
- <para>
- One final note about the naming. When specifying the
- module name within a logger, use the name of the module
- as specified in <command>bindctl</command>, e.g.
- <quote>Resolver</quote> for the resolver module,
- <quote>Xfrout</quote> for the xfrout module, etc. When
- the message is logged, the message will include the name
- of the logger generating the message, but with the module
- name replaced by the name of the process implementing
- the module (so for example, a message generated by the
- <quote>Auth.cache</quote> logger will appear in the output
- with a logger name of <quote>b10-auth.cache</quote>).

- This specifies the category of messages logged.
- Each message is logged with an associated severity which

- <para>
- When the severity of a logger is set to one of these
- values, it will only log messages of that severity, and
- the severities above it. The severity may also be set to
- NONE, in which case all messages from that logger are
- inhibited.
- <!-- TODO: worded wrong? If I set to INFO, why would it show DEBUG which is literally below in that list? -->
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>output_options (list)</title>
- <para>
- Each logger can have zero or more
- <option>output_options</option>. These specify where log
- messages are sent to. These are explained in detail below.
- </para>
- <para>
- The other options for a logger are:
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>debuglevel (integer)</title>
- <para>
- When a logger's severity is set to DEBUG, this value
- specifies what debug messages should be printed. It ranges
- from 0 (least verbose) to 99 (most verbose).
- </para>
- <!-- TODO: complete this sentence:
- The general classification of debug message types is
- TODO; there's a ticket to determine these levels, see #1074
- -->
- <para>
- If severity for the logger is not DEBUG, this value is ignored.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>additive (true or false)</title>
- <para>
- If this is true, the <option>output_options</option> from
- the parent will be used. For example, if there are two
- loggers configured; <quote>Resolver</quote> and
- <quote>Resolver.cache</quote>, and <option>additive</option>
- is true in the second, it will write the log messages
- not only to the destinations specified for
- <quote>Resolver.cache</quote>, but also to the destinations
- as specified in the <option>output_options</option> in
- the logger named <quote>Resolver</quote>.

- <section>
- <title>Output Options</title>
- <para>
- The main settings for an output option are the
- <option>destination</option> and a value called
- <option>output</option>, the meaning of which depends on
- the destination that is set.
- </para>
- <section>
- <title>destination (string)</title>
- <para>
- The destination is the type of output. It can be one of:

- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>output (string)</title>
- <para>
- Depending on what is set as the output destination, this
- value is interpreted as follows:
- </para>
- <variablelist>
- <varlistentry>
- <term><option>destination</option> is <quote>console</quote></term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- The value of output must be one of <quote>stdout</quote>
- (messages printed to standard output) or
- <quote>stderr</quote> (messages printed to standard
- error).
- </para>
- <para>
- Note: if output is set to <quote>stderr</quote> and a lot of
- messages are produced in a short time (e.g. if the logging
- level is set to DEBUG), you may occasionally see some messages
- jumbled up together. This is due to a combination of the way
- that messages are written to the screen and the unbuffered
- nature of the standard error stream. If this occurs, it is
- recommended that output be set to <quote>stdout</quote>.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term><option>destination</option> is <quote>file</quote></term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- The value of output is interpreted as a file name;
- log messages will be appended to this file.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term><option>destination</option> is <quote>syslog</quote></term>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- The value of output is interpreted as the

- <emphasis>local0</emphasis>) that should be used
- for log messages.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- </variablelist>
- <para>
- The other options for <option>output_options</option> are:
- </para>
- <section>
- <title>flush (true of false)</title>
- <para>
- Flush buffers after each log message. Doing this will
- reduce performance but will ensure that if the program
- terminates abnormally, all messages up to the point of
- termination are output.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>maxsize (integer)</title>
- <para>
- Only relevant when destination is file, this is maximum
- file size of output files in bytes. When the maximum
- size is reached, the file is renamed and a new file opened.
- (For example, a ".1" is appended to the name —
- if a ".1" file exists, it is renamed ".2",
- etc.)
- </para>
- <para>
- If this is 0, no maximum file size is used.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>maxver (integer)</title>
- <para>
- Maximum number of old log files to keep around when

- <title>Example session</title>
- <para>
- In this example we want to set the global logging to
- write to the file <filename>/var/log/my_bind10.log</filename>,
- at severity WARN. We want the authoritative server to
- log at DEBUG with debuglevel 40, to a different file
- (<filename>/tmp/debug_messages</filename>).

- <para>
- By default, no specific loggers are configured, in which

- Logging/loggers[0]/additive false boolean (default)
- Logging/loggers[0]/output_options [] list (default)
- </screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- The name is mandatory, so we must set it. We will also
- change the severity as well. Let's start with the global
- logger.
- </para>
- <para>
- <screen>> <userinput>config set Logging/loggers[0]/name *</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Logging/loggers[0]/severity WARN</userinput>

- Logging/loggers[0]/additive false boolean (default)
- Logging/loggers[0]/output_options [] list (default)
- </screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- Of course, we need to specify where we want the log
- messages to go, so we add an entry for an output option.
- </para>
- <para>
- <screen>> <userinput> config add Logging/loggers[0]/output_options</userinput>

- > <userinput> config set Logging/loggers[0]/output_options[0]/maxver 8</userinput>
- </screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- Which would make the entire configuration for this logger
- look like:
- </para>
- <para>
- <screen>> <userinput> config show all Logging/loggers</userinput>
- Logging/loggers[0]/name "*" string (modified)
- Logging/loggers[0]/severity "WARN" string (modified)

- Logging/loggers[0]/output_options[0]/maxsize 204800 integer (modified)
- Logging/loggers[0]/output_options[0]/maxver 8 integer (modified)
- </screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- That looks OK, so let's commit it before we add the
- configuration for the authoritative server's logger.
- </para>
- <para>
- <screen>> <userinput> config commit</userinput></screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- Now that we have set it, and checked each value along
- the way, adding a second entry is quite similar.
- </para>
- <para>
- <screen>> <userinput> config add Logging/loggers</userinput>
- > <userinput> config set Logging/loggers[1]/name Auth</userinput>
- > <userinput> config set Logging/loggers[1]/severity DEBUG</userinput>

- > <userinput> config add Logging/loggers[1]/output_options</userinput>
- > <userinput> config set Logging/loggers[1]/output_options[0]/destination file</userinput>
- > <userinput> config set Logging/loggers[1]/output_options[0]/output /tmp/auth_debug.log</userinput>
- > <userinput> config commit</userinput>
- </screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- And that's it. Once we have found whatever it was we
- needed the debug messages for, we can simply remove the
- second logger to let the authoritative server use the
- same settings as the rest.
- </para>
- <para>
- <screen>> <userinput> config remove Logging/loggers[1]</userinput>
- > <userinput> config commit</userinput>

- <title>Logging Message Format</title>
- <para>
- Each message written by BIND 10 to the configured logging
- destinations comprises a number of components that identify
- the origin of the message and, if the message indicates
- a problem, information about the problem that may be
- useful in fixing it.
- </para>
- <para>
- Consider the message below logged to a file:
- <screen>2011-06-15 13:48:22.034 ERROR [b10-resolver.asiolink]
- ASIODNS_OPENSOCK error 111 opening TCP socket to 127.0.0.1(53)</screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- Note: the layout of messages written to the system logging
- file (syslog) may be slightly different. This message has
- been split across two lines here for display reasons; in the
- logging file, it will appear on one line.)
- </para>
- <para>
- The log message comprises a number of components:
- <variablelist>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>2011-06-15 13:48:22.034</term>
- <!-- TODO: timestamp repeated even if using syslog? -->
- <listitem><para>
- The date and time at which the message was generated.
- </para></listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>ERROR</term>
- <listitem><para>
- The severity of the message.
- </para></listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>[b10-resolver.asiolink]</term>
- <listitem><para>
- The source of the message. This comprises two components:
- the BIND 10 process generating the message (in this
- case, <command>b10-resolver</command>) and the module
- within the program from which the message originated
- (which in the example is the asynchronous I/O link
- module, asiolink).
- </para></listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>ASIODNS_OPENSOCK</term>
- <listitem><para>
- The message identification. Every message in BIND 10
- has a unique identification, which can be used as an
- index into the <ulink
- url="bind10-messages.html"><citetitle>BIND 10 Messages
- Manual</citetitle></ulink> (<ulink
- url="http://bind10.isc.org/docs/bind10-messages.html"

- </para></listitem>
- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>error 111 opening TCP socket to 127.0.0.1(53)</term>
- <listitem><para>
- A brief description of the cause of the problem.
- Within this text, information relating to the condition
- that caused the message to be logged will be included.
- In this example, error number 111 (an operating
- system-specific error number) was encountered when
- trying to open a TCP connection to port 53 on the
- local system (address 127.0.0.1). The next step
- would be to find out the reason for the failure by
- consulting your system's documentation to identify
- what error number 111 means.
