- <title>Introduction</title>
- <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 BIND 10 version &__VERSION__;.

- <title>Supported Platforms</title>
- <para>
- BIND 10 builds have been tested on (in no particular order)
- Debian GNU/Linux 6 and unstable, Ubuntu 9.10, NetBSD 5,
- Solaris 10 and 11, FreeBSD 7 and 8, CentOS Linux 5.3,
- MacOS 10.6 and 10.7, and OpenBSD 5.1.
- It has been tested on Sparc, i386, and amd64 hardware
- platforms.
- It is planned for BIND 10 to build, install and run on
- Windows and standard Unix-type platforms.

- <title>Required Software at Run-time</title>
- <para>
- Running BIND 10 uses various extra software which may
- not be provided in some operating systems' default
- installations nor standard packages collections. You may
- need to install this required software separately.
- (For the build requirements, also see
- <xref linkend="build-requirements"/>.)
- </para>
- <para>
- BIND 10 requires at least Python 3.1
- (<ulink url="http://www.python.org/"/>).
- It also works with Python 3.2.
- </para>
- <para>
- BIND 10 uses the Botan crypto library for C++
- (<ulink url="http://botan.randombit.net/"/>).
- It requires at least Botan version 1.8.
- </para>
- <para>
- BIND 10 uses the log4cplus C++ logging library
- (<ulink url="http://log4cplus.sourceforge.net/"/>).
- It requires at least log4cplus version 1.0.3.
- <!-- TODO: It is recommended to use at least version .... -->
- </para>
- <para>
- The authoritative DNS server uses SQLite3
- (<ulink url="http://www.sqlite.org/"/>).
- <!-- TODO: is this still required? -->

- <title>Starting and Stopping the Server</title>
- <para>
- BIND 10 is modular. Part of this modularity is
- accomplished using multiple cooperating processes which, together,
- provide the server functionality. This is a change from
- the previous generation of BIND software, which used a
- single process.
- </para>
- <para>
- At first, running many different processes may seem confusing.
- However, these processes are started by running a single
- command, <command>bind10</command>. This command starts
- a master process, <command>b10-init</command>, which will
- start other required processes and other processes when
- configured. The processes that may be started have names
- starting with "b10-", including:

- The <command>bindctl</command> tool is an interactive

- fixed commands that have no module and that are always
- available.
- The general syntax of a command is
- <screen><userinput><module> <command> <replaceable>[argument(s)]</replaceable></userinput></screen>
- For example, the Init module has a 'shutdown' command to shut down
- BIND 10, with an optional argument 'help':
- <screen>> <userinput>Init 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 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:
- <emphasis>(list of modules)</emphasis>

- Available commands:
- help Get help for module.
- shutdown Shut down BIND 10
- ping Ping the Init process
- show_processes

- of top-level configuration items that are always available (for
- instance <varname>tsig_keys</varname> and

- Configuration changes (set, unset, add and remove) are done locally
- first, and have no immediate effect. The changes can be viewed with
- <command>config diff</command>, and either reverted
- (<command>config revert</command>), or committed
- (<command>config commit</command>).
- 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 (see <xref linkend=

- <term>maps</term>
- <listitem>
- <simpara>
- Maps are (pre-defined) 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 configuration is a map containing the
- elements '<varname>listen_on</varname>' (list) and '<varname>tcp_recv_timeout</varname>'
- (integer). When changing one of its values, they can
- be modified directly with <command>config set
- Auth/tcp_recv_timeout 3000</command>.
- </simpara>
- <simpara>
- Some map entries are optional. If they are, and
- currently have a value, the value can be unset by
- using either <command>config unset
- <replaceable><item name></replaceable>
- </command> or <command>config set
- <replaceable><item name></replaceable>
- null</command>.

- <simpara>
- Maps <emphasis>can</emphasis> be modified as a whole,

- 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; for example:
- <command> config set Logging { "loggers": [] } </command>
- </simpara>

- </varlistentry>
- <varlistentry>
- <term>list</term>
- <listitem>

- A list is a compound list of other elements of the

- add <replaceable><list name> [value]</replaceable></command>, and removed with
- <command>config remove <replaceable><list name> [value]</replaceable></command> or
- <command>config remove <replaceable><list name></replaceable><replaceable><index></replaceable></command>.
- The index is of the form <emphasis>square bracket, number,
- square bracket</emphasis> (e.g.
- <command>[0]</command>), and it immediately follows
- the list name (there is no separator or space
- between them). List indices start with 0 for the

- but like maps, only by specifying the

- Values can be added with
- <command>config add <replaceable><item name> <string> [value]</replaceable></command>

- The <command>execute</command> command executes a set of commands,

- <command>init_authoritative_server</command>, which adds
- <command>b10-auth</command>, <command>b10-xfrin</command>, and
- <command>b10-xfrout</command> 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
- <command>config commit</command> after
- <command>execute init_authoritative_server</command>. For example:
- <screen>> <userinput>execute init_authoritative_server</userinput></screen>
- <screen>> <userinput>execute file /tmp/example_commands</userinput></screen>

- <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>
- </para>
- <para>
- You can also use these algorithms (which may not be omitted from the
- key definition if used):
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>hmac-sha1</listitem>
- <listitem>hmac-sha224</listitem>
- <listitem>hmac-sha256</listitem>

- <section id='tsig-key-ring'>
- <title>Key ring</title>
- <para>
- The key ring lives in the configuration in "tsig_keys/keys". Most of

- sign responses to signed queries, and <command>b10-xfrin</command>
- and <command>b10-xfrout</command> to sign transfers.
- </para>
- <para>
- The key ring is just a list of strings, each describing one key. So,
- to add a new key, you can do this:
- <screen>> <userinput>config add tsig_keys/keys "example.key.:c2VjcmV0"</userinput>

- <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, called 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.

- <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>
- Currently, <command>bindctl</command> has hard time coping with

- <para>
- However, this is work in progress and the support is not yet complete.
- For example, each resolver will have its own cache, each authoritative
- server will keep its own copy of in-memory data and there could be
- problems with locking the sqlite database, if used. The configuration
- might be changed to something more convenient in future.

- probably not do what you want. Such support is yet to be

- In the current release, <command>b10-auth</command>
- can serve data from a SQLite3 data source backend and from master
- files.
- Upcoming versions will be able to use multiple different
- data sources, such as MySQL and Berkeley DB.
- </para></note>
- <para>
- The configuration is located in data_sources/classes. Each item there
- represents one RR class and a list used to answer queries for that
- class. The default contains two classes. The CH class contains a
- built-in data source — one that serves things like
- <quote>AUTHORS.BIND.</quote>. The IN class contains single SQLite3
- data source with database file located at
- <filename>/usr/local/var/bind10/zone.sqlite3</filename>.
- </para>
- <para>
- Each data source has several options. The first one is
- <varname>type</varname>, which specifies the type of data source to
- use. Valid types include the ones listed below, but BIND 10 uses
- dynamically loaded modules for them, so there may be more in your
- case. This option is mandatory.
- </para>
- <para>
- Another option is <varname>params</varname>. This option is type
- specific; it holds different data depending on the type
- above. Also, depending on the type, it could be possible to omit it.
- </para>
- <para>
- There are two options related to the so-called cache. If you enable
- cache, zone data from the data source are loaded into memory.
- Then, when answering a query, <command>b10-auth</command> looks
- into the memory only instead of the data source, which speeds
- answering up. The first option is <varname>cache-enable</varname>,
- a boolean value turning the cache on and off (off is the default).
- The second one, <varname>cache-zones</varname>, is a list of zone
- origins to load into in-memory.
- <!-- NOT YET: http://bind10.isc.org/ticket/2240

- <title>Configuration for Incoming Zone Transfers</title>

- In order to enable incoming zone transfers for a secondary

- data source.
- One easy way to do this is to create an empty zone using the
- <command>b10-loadzone</command> utility.
- For example, this makes an empty zone (or empties any existing
- content of the zone) "example.com" in the default data source
- for <command>b10-loadzone</command> (which is SQLite3-based
- data source):
- <screen>$ <userinput>b10-loadzone <replaceable>-e</replaceable> <replaceable>example.com</replaceable></userinput></screen>

- Next, you need to specify a list of secondary zones to
- enable incoming zone transfers for these zones in most
- practical cases (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>

- 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.
- <!-- TODO -->
- Also, in this current 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 Init/components b10-ddns</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Init/components/b10-ddns/address DDNS</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Init/components/b10-ddns/kind dispensable</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>
- <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>
- <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.

- Database access information must be configured for the DHCPv4 server, even if

- <title>Configuration of Address Pools</title>
- <para>
- The essential role of DHCPv4 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 192.0.2.0/24
- prefix. The Administrator of that network has decided that addresses from range
- 192.0.2.10 to 192.0.2.20 are going to be managed by the Dhcp4
- server. Such a configuration can be achieved in the following way:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp4/subnet4</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/subnet4[0]/subnet "192.0.2.0/24"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/subnet4[0]/pool [ "192.0.2.10 - 192.0.2.20" ]</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
- 192.0.2.64/26 should be also be managed by the server. It could be written as
- 192.0.2.64 to 192.0.2.127. Alternatively, it can be expressed more simply as
- 192.0.2.64/26. Both formats are supported by Dhcp4 and can be mixed in the pool list.
- For example, one could define the following pools:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/subnet4[0]/pool [ "192.0.2.10-192.0.2.20", "192.0.2.64/26" ]</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. Space and tabulations in pool definitions are ignored, so
- spaces before and after hyphen are optional. They can be used to improve readability.
- </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 Dhcp4/subnet4</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/subnet4[1]/subnet "192.0.3.0/24"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/subnet4[1]/pool [ "192.0.3.0/24" ]</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 Dhcp4/subnet4</command> command adds
- another (second) subnet. It can be referred to as
- <command>Dhcp4/subnet4[1]</command>. In this example, we allow server to
- dynamically assign all addresses available in the whole subnet.
- </para>

- When configuring a DHCPv4 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) and the last (typically broadcast address) address from that pool.
- In the aforementioned example of pool 192.0.3.0/24, both 192.0.3.0 and
- 192.0.3.255 addresses may be assigned as well. This may be invalid in some
- network configurations. If you want to avoid this, please use the "min-max" notation.

- One of the major features of DHCPv4 server is to provide configuration
- options to clients. Although there are several options that require
- special behavior, most options are sent by the server only if the client
- explicitly requested them. The following example shows how to
- configure DNS servers, which is one of the most frequently used
- options. Options specified in this way are considered global and apply
- to all configured subnets.

- The first line creates new entry in option-data table. It
- contains information on all global options that the server is
- supposed to configure in all subnets. The second line specifies
- option name. For a complete list of currently supported names,
- see <xref linkend="dhcp4-std-options-list"/> below.
- The third line specifies option code, which must match one of the
- values from that list. Line 4 specifies option space, which must always
- be set to "dhcp4" as these are standard DHCPv4 options. For
- other option spaces, including custom option spaces, see <xref
- linkend="dhcp4-option-spaces"/>. The fifth line specifies the format in
- which the data will be entered: use of CSV (comma
- separated values) is recommended. The sixth line gives the actual value to
- be sent to clients. Data is specified as a normal text, with
- values separated by commas if more than one value is
- allowed.
- </para>
- <para>
- Options can also be configured as hexadecimal values. If csv-format is
- set to false, option data must be specified as a hex string. The

- It is possible to override options on a per-subnet basis. If
- clients connected to most of your subnets are expected to get the
- same values of a given option, you should use global options: you
- can then override specific values for a small number of subnets.
- On the other hand, if you use different values in each subnet,
- it does not make sense to specify global option values
- (Dhcp4/option-data), rather you should set only subnet-specific values
- (Dhcp4/subnet[X]/option-data[Y]).

- Some options are designated as arrays, which means that more than one

- <title>Custom DHCPv4 options</title>
- <para>It is also possible to define options other than the standard ones.
- Assume that we want to define a new DHCPv4 option called "foo" which will have
- code 222 and will convey a single unsigned 32 bit integer value. We can define
- such an option by using the following commands:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-def</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/name "foo"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/code 222</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/type "uint32"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/array false</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/record-types ""</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/space "dhcp4"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/encapsulate ""</userinput>
- > <userinput>config commit</userinput></screen>
- The "false" value of the "array" parameter determines that the option
- does NOT comprise an array of "uint32" values but rather a single value.
- Two other parameters have been left blank: "record-types" and "encapsulate".
- The former specifies the comma separated list of option data fields if the
- option comprises a record of data fields. The "record-fields" value should
- be non-empty if the "type" is set to "record". Otherwise it must be left
- blank. The latter parameter specifies the name of the option space being
- encapsulated by the particular option. If the particular option does not
- encapsulate any option space it should be left blank.
- Note that the above set of comments define the format of the new option and do not
- set its values.
- </para>
- <note>
- <para>
- In the current release the default values are not propagated to the
- parser when the new configuration is being set. Therefore, all
- parameters must be specified at all times, even if their values are
- left blank.
- </para>
- </note>
- <para>Once the new option format is defined, its value is set
- in the same way as for a standard option. For example the following
- commands set a global value that applies to all subnets.

- <para>Assume we
- want to define a new option that will consist of an IPv4
- address, followed by unsigned 16 bit integer, followed by a text

- </screen>
- The "type" is set to "record" to indicate that the option contains

- list in the "record-types" field and should be those listed in <xref linkend="dhcp-types"/>.
- </para>
- <para>
- The values of the option are set as follows:

- <title>DHCPv4 vendor specific options</title>
- <para>
- Currently there are three option spaces defined: dhcp4 (to
- be used in DHCPv4 daemon) and dhcp6 (for the DHCPv6 daemon); there
- is also vendor-encapsulated-options-space, which is empty by default, but options
- can be defined in it. Those options are called vendor-specific
- information options. The following examples show how to define
- an option "foo" with code 1 that consists of an IPv4 address, an
- unsigned 16 bit integer and a string. The "foo" option is conveyed
- in a vendor specific information option.
- </para>
- <para>
- The first step is to define the format of the option:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-def</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/name "foo"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/code 1</userinput>

- (Note that the option space is set to "vendor-encapsulated-options-space".)
- Once the option format is defined, the next step is to define actual values
- for that option:

- <title>Nested DHCPv4 options (custom option spaces)</title>
- <para>It is sometimes useful to define completely new option
- space. This is the case when user creates new option in the
- standard option space ("dhcp4 or "dhcp6") and wants this option
- to convey sub-options. Thanks to being in the separate space,
- sub-option codes will have a separate numbering scheme and may
- overlap with codes of standard options.
- </para>
- <para>Note that creation of a new option space when defining
- sub-options for a standard option is not required, because it is
- created by default if the standard option is meant to convey any
- sub-options (see <xref linkend="dhcp4-vendor-opts"/>).
- </para>
- <para>
- Assume that we want to have a DHCPv4 option called "container" with
- code 222 that conveys two sub-options with codes 1 and 2.
- First we need to define the new sub-options:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-def</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/name "subopt1"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp4/option-def[0]/code 1</userinput>

- > <userinput>config commit</userinput>
- </screen>
- Note that we have defined the options to belong to a new option space
- (in this case, "isc").
- </para>
- <para>
- The next step is to define a regular DHCPv4 option with our desired
- code and specify that it should include options from the new option space:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>add Dhcp4/option-def</userinput>
- > <userinput>set Dhcp4/option-def[2]/name "container"</userinput>
- > <userinput>set Dhcp4/option-def[2]/code 222</userinput>

- > <userinput>set Dhcp4/option-def[2]/encapsulate "isc"</userinput>
- > <userinput>commit</userinput>
- </screen>
- The name of the option space in which the sub-options are defined
- is set in the "encapsulate" field. The "type" field is set to "empty"
- to indicate that this option does not carry any data other than
- sub-options.
- </para>
- <para>
- Finally, we can set values for the new options:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp4/option-data</userinput>

- Even though the "container" option does not carry any data except
- sub-options, the "data" field must be explicitly set to an empty value.
- This is required because in the current version of BIND 10 DHCP, the
- default configuration values are not propagated to the configuration parsers:
- if the "data" is not set the parser will assume that this
- parameter is not specified and an error will be reported.
- </para>
- <para>Note that it is possible to create an option which carries some data
- in addition to the sub-options defined in the encapsulated option space. For example,
- if the "container" option from the previous example was required to carry an uint16
- value as well as the sub-options, the "type" value would have to be set to "uint16" in
- the option definition. (Such an option would then have the following
- data structure: DHCP header, uint16 value, sub-options.) The value specified
- with the "data" parameter - which should be a valid integer enclosed in quotes,
- e.g. "123" - would then be assigned to the uint16 field in the "container" option.

- <title>Server Identifier in DHCPv4</title>
- <para>
- The DHCPv4 protocol uses a "server identifier" for clients to be able
- to discriminate between several servers present on the same link: this
- value is an IPv4 address of the server. When started for the first time,
- the DHCPv4 server will choose one of its IPv4 addresses as its server-id,
- and store the chosen value to a file. That file will be read by the server
- and the contained value used whenever the server is subsequently started.
- </para>
- <para>
- It is unlikely that this parameter should ever need to be changed.
- However, if such a need arises, stop the server, edit the file and restart
- the server. (The file is named b10-dhcp4-serverid and by default is
- stored in the "var" subdirectory of the directory in which BIND 10 is installed.
- This can be changed when BIND 10 is built by using "--localstatedir"
- on the "configure" command line.) The file is a text file that should
- contain an IPv4 address. Spaces are ignored, and no extra characters are allowed

- <title>Database Configuration</title>
- <para>
- All leases issued by the server are stored in the lease database. Currently,
- the only supported database is MySQL
- <footnote>
- <para>
- The server comes with an in-memory database ("memfile") configured as the default
- database. This is used for internal testing and is not supported. In addition,
- it does not store lease information on disk: lease information will be lost if the
- server is restarted.
- </para>
- </footnote>, and so the server must be configured to
- access the correct database with the appropriate credentials.
- </para>
- <note>
- <para>
- Database access information must be configured for the DHCPv6 server, even if
- it has already been configured for the DHCPv4 server. The servers store their
- information independently, so each server can use a separate
- database or both servers can use the same database.
- </para>
- </note>
- <para>
- Database configuration is controlled through the Dhcp6/lease-database parameters.
- The type of the database must be set to MySQL (although the string entered is "mysql"):
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/type "mysql"</userinput>
- </screen>
- Next, the name of the database is to hold the leases must be set: this is the
- name used when the lease database was created (see <xref linkend="dhcp-database-create"/>).
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/name "<replaceable>database-name</replaceable>"</userinput>
- </screen>
- If the database is located on a different system to the DHCPv6 server, the
- database host name must also be specified (although note that this configuration
- may have a severe impact on server performance):
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/host "<replaceable>remote-host-name</replaceable>"</userinput>
- </screen>
- The usual state of affairs will be to have the database on the same machine as the
- DHCPv6 server. In this case, set the value to the empty string (this is the default):
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/host ""</userinput>
- </screen>
- </para>
- <para>
- Finally, the credentials of the account under which the server will access the database
- should be set:

- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/user "<replaceable>user-name</replaceable>"</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/lease-database/password "<replaceable>password</replaceable>"</userinput>
- </screen>
- If there is no password to the account, set the password to the empty string "". (This is also the default.)

- <section>
- <title>Subnet and Address Pool</title>
- <para>
- The essential role of a DHCPv6 server is address assignment. For this,
- 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> 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 the "min-max" notation.
- </para>

- <title>Standard DHCPv6 options</title>
- <para>
- One of the major features of DHCPv6 server is to provide configuration
- options to clients. Although there are several options that require
- special behavior, most options are sent by the server only if the client
- explicitly requested them. The following example shows how to
- configure DNS servers, which is one of the most frequently used
- options. Numbers in the first column are added for easier reference and
- will not appear on screen. Options specified in this way are considered

- supposed to configure in all subnets. The second line specifies
- option name. For a complete list of currently supported names,
- see <xref linkend="dhcp6-std-options-list"/> below.
- The third line specifies option code, which must match one of the

- It is possible to override options on a per-subnet basis. If

- convey sub-options that use separate numbering scheme, for
- example sub-options with codes 1 and 2. Those option codes
- conflict with standard DHCPv6 options, so a separate option
- space must be defined.
- </para>
- <para>Note that it is not required to create new option space when

- </para>
- <para>
- Assume that we want to have a DHCPv6 option called "container"
- with code 102 that conveys two sub-options with codes 1 and 2.
- First we need to define the new sub-options:

- > <userinput>config commit</userinput>
- </screen>
- Note that we have defined the options to belong to a new option space
- (in this case, "isc").
- </para>
- <para>
- The next step is to define a regular DHCPv6 option and specify that it
- should include options from the isc option space:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp6/option-def</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/option-def[2]/name "container"</userinput>

- </screen>
- The name of the option space in which the sub-options are defined
- is set in the "encapsulate" field. The "type" field is set to "empty"
- which imposes that this option does not carry any data other than
- sub-options.
- </para>
- <para>
- Finally, we can set values for the new options:

- > <userinput>config commit</userinput>
- </screen>
- Even though the "container" option does not carry any data except
- sub-options, the "data" field must be explicitly set to an empty value.
- This is required because in the current version of BIND 10 DHCP, the
- default configuration values are not propagated to the configuration parsers:
- if the "data" is not set the parser will assume that this
- parameter is not specified and an error will be reported.
- </para>
- <para>Note that it is possible to create an option which carries some data
- in addition to the sub-options defined in the encapsulated option space. For example,
- if the "container" option from the previous example was required to carry an uint16
- value as well as the sub-options, the "type" value would have to be set to "uint16" in
- the option definition. (Such an option would then have the following
- data structure: DHCP header, uint16 value, sub-options.) The value specified
- with the "data" parameter - which should be a valid integer enclosed in quotes,
- e.g. "123" - would then be assigned to the uint16 field in the "container" option.

- <title>Subnet Selection</title>
- <para>
- The DHCPv6 server may receive requests from local (connected to the
- same subnet as the server) and remote (connecting via relays) clients.
- As server may have many subnet configurations defined, it must select
- appropriate subnet for a given request. To do this, the server first
- checks if there is only one subnet defined and source of the packet is
- link-local. If this is the case, the server assumes that the only
- subnet defined is local and client is indeed connected to it. This
- check simplifies small deployments.
- </para>
- <para>
- If there are two or more subnets defined, the server can not assume
- which of those (if any) subnets are local. Therefore an optional
- "interface" parameter is available within a subnet definition to
- designate that a given subnet is local, i.e. reachable directly over
- specified interface. For example the server that is intended to serve
- a local subnet over eth0 may be configured as follows:
- <screen>
- > <userinput>config add Dhcp6/subnet6</userinput>
- > <userinput>config set Dhcp6/subnet6[1]/subnet "2001:db8:beef::/48"</userinput>

- <title>DHCPv6 Relays</title>
- <para>
- A DHCPv6 server with multiple subnets defined must select the
- appropriate subnet when it receives a request from client. For clients
- connected via relays, two mechanisms are used:
- </para>
- <para>
- The first uses the linkaddr field in the RELAY_FORW message. The name
- of this field is somewhat misleading in that it does not contain a link-layer
- address: instead, it holds an address (typically a global address) that is
- used to identify a link. The DHCPv6 server checks if the address belongs
- to a defined subnet and, if it does, that subnet is selected for the client's
- request.
- </para>
- <para>
- The second mechanism is based on interface-id options. While forwarding a client's
- message, relays may insert an interface-id option into the message that
- identifies the interface on the relay that received the message. (Some
- relays allow configuration of that parameter, but it is sometimes
- hardcoded and may range from the very simple (e.g. "vlan100") to the very cryptic:
- one example seen on real hardware was "ISAM144|299|ipv6|nt:vp:1:110"). The
- server can use this information to select the appropriate subnet.
- The information is also returned to the relay which then knows the
- interface to use to transmit the response to the client. In order for
- this to work successfully, the relay interface IDs must be unique within
- the network and the server configuration must match those values.
- </para>
- <para>
- When configuring the DHCPv6 server, it should be noted that two
- similarly-named parameters can be configured for a subnet:
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><simpara>
- "interface" defines which local network interface can be used
- to access a given subnet.
- </simpara></listitem>

- "interface-id" specifies the content of the interface-id option
- used by relays to identify the interface on the relay to which
- the response packet is sent.
- </simpara></listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- The two are mutually exclusive: a subnet cannot be both reachable locally
- (direct traffic) and via relays (remote traffic). Specifying both is a
- configuration error and the DHCPv6 server will refuse such a configuration.
- </para>
- <para>
- To specify interface-id with value "vlan123", the following commands can
- be used:

- 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
- 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>).
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>severity (string)</title>
- <para>
- This specifies the category of messages logged.
- Each message is logged with an associated severity which

- 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

- </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

- Only relevant when destination is file, this is maximum

- <note>
- <simpara>
- Due to a limitation of the underlying logging library
- (log4cplus), rolling over the log files (from ".1" to
- ".2", etc) may show odd results: There can be
- multiple small files at the timing of roll over. This
- can happen when multiple BIND 10 processes try to roll
- over the files simultaneously.
- Version 1.1.0 of log4cplus solved this problem, so if
- this or higher version of log4cplus is used to build
- BIND 10, it shouldn't happen. Even for older versions
- it is normally expected to happen rarely unless the log
- messages are produced very frequently by multiple
- different processes.
