DNS 4 NOTIMP vs 21 BADALG
Both DNS 4 (NOTIMP) and 21 (BADALG) 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, 21 means that algorithm not supported. The cryptographic algorithm specified in the TKEY or SIG record is not supported by the server.
Description
Not Implemented. The name server does not support the requested query type or operation.
Quand vous le voyez
You sent a query type (e.g., IXFR, dynamic update) that the server does not support or has disabled.
Comment résoudre
Verify the server supports the query type you are using. If you need zone transfers or dynamic updates, enable them in the server configuration.
Description
Algorithm not supported. The cryptographic algorithm specified in the TKEY or SIG record is not supported by the server.
Quand vous le voyez
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.
Comment résoudre
Use a mutually supported algorithm. HMAC-SHA256 is widely supported for TSIG; for DNSSEC, check the server's supported algorithm list with its documentation.
Différences clés
DNS 4: Not Implemented. The name server does not support the requested query type or operation.
