DNS 7 YXRRSET vs 21 BADALG
Both DNS 7 (YXRRSET) and 21 (BADALG) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 7 indicates that rR Set Exists when it should not. A resource record set exists that the update prerequisite says should not. Meanwhile, 21 means that algorithm not supported. The cryptographic algorithm specified in the TKEY or SIG record is not supported by the server.
الوصف
RR Set Exists when it should not. A resource record set exists that the update prerequisite says should not.
متى تراه
A DNS UPDATE failed because a specific RRset (e.g., an A record) already exists when the prerequisite required it to be absent.
كيفية الإصلاح
Delete the conflicting RRset before retrying the update, or adjust your prerequisite conditions to match the actual zone state.
الوصف
Algorithm not supported. The cryptographic algorithm specified in the TKEY or SIG record is not supported by the server.
متى تراه
Your TKEY negotiation or DNSSEC operation requested an algorithm (e.g., HMAC-SHA512) that the server has not been compiled with or configured to accept.
كيفية الإصلاح
Use a mutually supported algorithm. HMAC-SHA256 is widely supported for TSIG; for DNSSEC, check the server's supported algorithm list with its documentation.
