Discuss Infoblox NIOS-DDI-Expert Exam Topic 5 Question 12

Which types of Zone are available for Add Zone? (Select all that apply.)

AAuthoritative Zone

BForward Zone

CPrimary Zone

DDelegation

Suggested Answer: A, B, C, D

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth

In NIOS Grid Manager (Data Management > DNS > Add Zone), administrators can create various zone types to manage DNS resolution. All listed options are valid:

A (Authoritative Zone): A zone where the Infoblox appliance is the authoritative source for DNS records (e.g., example.com with A, MX records). Correct.

B (Forward Zone): A zone configured to forward queries to external DNS servers (e.g., forwarding 'internal.com' to a corporate DNS). Correct.

C (Primary Zone): Often synonymous with Authoritative Zone in Infoblox, it's a master zone hosting original DNS data (distinct from secondary zones). Correct.

D (Delegation): A zone delegated to another name server (e.g., 'sub.example.com' delegated to different NS records). Correct.

Clarification: In NIOS, 'Authoritative' and 'Primary' are sometimes used interchangeably, but both are options in the Add Zone wizard, alongside Forward and Delegation zones.

Practical Example: In an INE lab, you might add an Authoritative Zone for 'lab.com,' a Forward Zone for external lookups, and a Delegation for a subdomain, testing DNS troubleshooting across these types.

Wait, can you really add Delegation? That’s surprising!

Definitely an Authoritative Zone!

Delegation sounds familiar, but I’m uncertain if it fits with Add Zone. I need to double-check my notes!

I feel like Forward Zone might not be correct, but I can't recall why.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think Primary Zone was one of the answers too.

I think the Authoritative Zone is definitely one of the options, but I'm not sure about the others.

This is a good question to test our understanding of DNS zones. I'll review the key zone types and select all the ones that apply for the "Add Zone" option.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. Authoritative zones, forward zones, and primary zones - those sound right. I'll double-check the options to make sure I don't miss anything.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I know there are different types of zones, but I can't remember all the specific options. I'll have to think this through carefully.
