DNS 4 NOTIMP vs 18 BADTIME
Both DNS 4 (NOTIMP) and 18 (BADTIME) belong to the DNS Response Codes (RCODEs) category. 4 indicates that not Implemented. The name server does not support the requested query type or operation. Meanwhile, 18 means that signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
Beschreibung
Not Implemented. The name server does not support the requested query type or operation.
Wann Sie es sehen
You sent a query type (e.g., IXFR, dynamic update) that the server does not support or has disabled.
Wie man es behebt
Verify the server supports the query type you are using. If you need zone transfers or dynamic updates, enable them in the server configuration.
Beschreibung
Signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
Wann Sie es sehen
The clocks on the DNS client and server are too far apart (usually more than 5 minutes), causing TSIG signature validation to fail.
Wie man es behebt
Synchronize clocks on both machines using NTP. Check that the TSIG fudge value (allowed skew) is reasonable — the default 300 seconds is usually sufficient.
