<a name="id-1.14.23.7"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p><span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>
controls the operation of a name
server. It supersedes the <span class="command"><strong>ndc</strong></span> utility
that was provided in old BIND releases. If
<span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> is invoked with no command line
options or arguments, it prints a short summary of the
supported commands and the available options and their
arguments.
</p>
<p><span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>
communicates with the name server over a TCP connection, sending
commands authenticated with digital signatures. In the current
versions of
<span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> and <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>,
the only supported authentication algorithms are HMAC-MD5
(for compatibility), HMAC-SHA1, HMAC-SHA224, HMAC-SHA256
(default), HMAC-SHA384 and HMAC-SHA512.
They use a shared secret on each end of the connection.
This provides TSIG-style authentication for the command
request and the name server's response. All commands sent
over the channel must be signed by a key_id known to the
server.
</p>
<p><span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>
reads a configuration file to
determine how to contact the name server and decide what
algorithm and key it should use.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsection">
<a name="id-1.14.23.8"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
<dt><span class="term">-b <em class="replaceable"><code>source-address</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use <em class="replaceable"><code>source-address</code></em>
as the source address for the connection to the server.
Multiple instances are permitted to allow setting of both
the IPv4 and IPv6 source addresses.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-c <em class="replaceable"><code>config-file</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use <em class="replaceable"><code>config-file</code></em>
as the configuration file instead of the default,
<code class="filename">/etc/rndc.conf</code>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-k <em class="replaceable"><code>key-file</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use <em class="replaceable"><code>key-file</code></em>
as the key file instead of the default,
<code class="filename">/etc/rndc.key</code>. The key in
<code class="filename">/etc/rndc.key</code> will be used to
authenticate
commands sent to the server if the <em class="replaceable"><code>config-file</code></em>
does not exist.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-s <em class="replaceable"><code>server</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p><em class="replaceable"><code>server</code></em> is
the name or address of the server which matches a
server statement in the configuration file for
<span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>. If no server is supplied on the
command line, the host named by the default-server clause
in the options statement of the <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span>
configuration file will be used.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-p <em class="replaceable"><code>port</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Send commands to TCP port
<em class="replaceable"><code>port</code></em>
instead
of BIND 9's default control channel port, 953.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-q</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Quiet mode: Message text returned by the server
will not be printed except when there is an error.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-V</span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Enable verbose logging.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-y <em class="replaceable"><code>key_id</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Use the key <em class="replaceable"><code>key_id</code></em>
from the configuration file.
<em class="replaceable"><code>key_id</code></em>
must be
known by <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> with the same algorithm and secret string
in order for control message validation to succeed.
If no <em class="replaceable"><code>key_id</code></em>
is specified, <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> will first look
for a key clause in the server statement of the server
being used, or if no server statement is present for that
host, then the default-key clause of the options statement.
Note that the configuration file contains shared secrets
which are used to send authenticated control commands
to name servers. It should therefore not have general read
or write access.

<a name="id-1.14.23.9"></a><h2>COMMANDS</h2>
<p>
A list of commands supported by <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> can
be seen by running <span class="command"><strong>rndc</strong></span> without arguments.
</p>
<p>
Currently supported commands are:
</p>
<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>addzone <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>]</span>] <em class="replaceable"><code>configuration</code></em> </code></strong></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Add a zone while the server is running. This
command requires the
<span class="command"><strong>allow-new-zones</strong></span> option to be set
to <strong class="userinput"><code>yes</code></strong>. The
<em class="replaceable"><code>configuration</code></em> string
specified on the command line is the zone
configuration text that would ordinarily be
placed in <code class="filename">named.conf</code>.
</p>
<p>
The configuration is saved in a file called
<code class="filename"><em class="replaceable"><code>hash</code></em>.nzf</code>,
where <em class="replaceable"><code>hash</code></em> is a
cryptographic hash generated from the name of
the view. When <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> is
restarted, the file will be loaded into the view
configuration, so that zones that were added
can persist after a restart.
</p>
<p>
This sample <span class="command"><strong>addzone</strong></span> command
would add the zone <code class="literal">example.com</code>
to the default view:
</p>
<p>
<code class="prompt">$ </code><strong class="userinput"><code>rndc addzone example.com '{ type master; file "example.com.db"; };'</code></strong>
</p>
<p>
(Note the brackets and semi-colon around the zone
configuration text.)
</p>
<p>
See also <span class="command"><strong>rndc delzone</strong></span>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>delzone [<span class="optional">-clean</span>] <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>]</span>] </code></strong></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Delete a zone while the server is running.
Only zones that were originally added via
<span class="command"><strong>rndc addzone</strong></span> can be deleted
in this manner.
</p>
<p>
If the <code class="option">-clean</code> is specified,
the zone's master file (and journal file, if any)
will be deleted along with the zone. Without the
<code class="option">-clean</code> option, zone files must
be cleaned up by hand. (If the zone is of
type "slave" or "stub", the files needing to
be cleaned up will be reported in the output
of the <span class="command"><strong>rndc delzone</strong></span> command.)
</p>
<p>
See also <span class="command"><strong>rndc addzone</strong></span>.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>dumpdb [<span class="optional">-all|-cache|-zones|-adb|-bad</span>] [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view ...</code></em></span>]</code></strong></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Dump the server's caches (default) and/or zones to
the dump file for the specified views. If no view
is specified, all views are dumped.
(See the <span class="command"><strong>dump-file</strong></span> option in
the BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual.)
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>flush</code></strong></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Flushes the server's cache.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>flushname</code></strong> <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>] </span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Flushes the given name from the server's DNS cache
and, if applicable, from the server's nameserver address
database or bad-server cache.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>flushtree</code></strong> <em class="replaceable"><code>name</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>] </span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Flushes the given name, and all of its subdomains,
from the server's DNS cache, the address database,
and the bad server cache.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term"><strong class="userinput"><code>freeze [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em> [<span class="optional"><em class="replaceable"><code>view</code></em></span>]</span>]</span>]</code></strong></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Suspend updates to a dynamic zone. If no zone is
specified, then all zones are suspended. This allows
manual edits to be made to a zone normally updated by
dynamic update. It also causes changes in the
journal file to be synced into the master file.
All dynamic update attempts will be refused while
the zone is frozen.
</p>
<p>
See also <span class="command"><strong>rndc thaw</strong></span>.

Stop the server immediately. Recent changes
made through dynamic update or IXFR are not saved to
the master files, but will be rolled forward from the
journal files when the server is restarted.
If <code class="option">-p</code> is specified <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span>'s process id is returned.

<p>
Fetch all DNSSEC keys for the given zone
from the key directory. If they are within
their publication period, merge them into the
zone's DNSKEY RRset. Unlike <span class="command"><strong>rndc

immediately re-signed by the new keys, but is
allowed to incrementally re-sign over time.
</p>
<p>
This command requires that the
<span class="command"><strong>auto-dnssec</strong></span> zone option
be set to <code class="literal">maintain</code>,
and also requires the zone to be configured to
allow dynamic DNS.

Fetch all DNSSEC keys for the given zone
from the key directory (see the

the BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual). If they are within
their publication period, merge them into the
zone's DNSKEY RRset. If the DNSKEY RRset
is changed, then the zone is automatically
re-signed with the new key set.
</p>
<p>
This command requires that the
<span class="command"><strong>auto-dnssec</strong></span> zone option be set
to <code class="literal">allow</code> or
<code class="literal">maintain</code>,
and also requires the zone to be configured to
allow dynamic DNS.

<dd>
<p>
List, edit, or remove the DNSSEC signing state records
for the specified zone. The status of ongoing DNSSEC
operations (such as signing or generating
NSEC3 chains) is stored in the zone in the form
of DNS resource records of type
<span class="command"><strong>sig-signing-type</strong></span>.
<span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -list</strong></span> converts
these records into a human-readable form,
indicating which keys are currently signing
or have finished signing the zone, and which NSEC3
chains are being created or removed.
</p>
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -clear</strong></span> can remove
a single key (specified in the same format that
<span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -list</strong></span> uses to
display it), or all keys. In either case, only
completed keys are removed; any record indicating
that a key has not yet finished signing the zone
will be retained.
</p>
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -nsec3param</strong></span> sets
the NSEC3 parameters for a zone. This is the
only supported mechanism for using NSEC3 with
<span class="command"><strong>inline-signing</strong></span> zones.
Parameters are specified in the same format as
an NSEC3PARAM resource record: hash algorithm,
flags, iterations, and salt, in that order.
</p>
<p>
Currently, the only defined value for hash algorithm
is <code class="literal">1</code>, representing SHA-1.
The <code class="option">flags</code> may be set to
<code class="literal">0</code> or <code class="literal">1</code>,
depending on whether you wish to set the opt-out
bit in the NSEC3 chain. <code class="option">iterations</code>
defines the number of additional times to apply
the algorithm when generating an NSEC3 hash. The
<code class="option">salt</code> is a string of data expressed
in hexadecimal, a hyphen (`-') if no salt is
to be used, or the keyword <code class="literal">auto</code>,
which causes <span class="command"><strong>named</strong></span> to generate a
random 64-bit salt.
</p>
<p>
So, for example, to create an NSEC3 chain using
the SHA-1 hash algorithm, no opt-out flag,
10 iterations, and a salt value of "FFFF", use:
<span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -nsec3param 1 0 10 FFFF <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em></strong></span>.
To set the opt-out flag, 15 iterations, and no
salt, use:
<span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -nsec3param 1 1 15 - <em class="replaceable"><code>zone</code></em></strong></span>.
</p>
<p>
<span class="command"><strong>rndc signing -nsec3param none</strong></span>
removes an existing NSEC3 chain and replaces it
with NSEC.

Enable updates to a frozen dynamic zone. If no
zone is specified, then all frozen zones are
enabled. This causes the server to reload the zone
from disk, and re-enables dynamic updates after the
load has completed. After a zone is thawed,
dynamic updates will no longer be refused. If
the zone has changed and the
<span class="command"><strong>ixfr-from-differences</strong></span> option is
in use, then the journal file will be updated to
reflect changes in the zone. Otherwise, if the
