DNS 7 YXRRSET vs 18 BADTIME
Both DNS 7 (YXRRSET) and 18 (BADTIME) 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, 18 means that signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
Deskripsi
RR Set Exists when it should not. A resource record set exists that the update prerequisite says should not.
Ketika Anda Melihatnya
A DNS UPDATE failed because a specific RRset (e.g., an A record) already exists when the prerequisite required it to be absent.
Cara Memperbaiki
Delete the conflicting RRset before retrying the update, or adjust your prerequisite conditions to match the actual zone state.
Deskripsi
Signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
Ketika Anda Melihatnya
The clocks on the DNS client and server are too far apart (usually more than 5 minutes), causing TSIG signature validation to fail.
Cara Memperbaiki
Synchronize clocks on both machines using NTP. Check that the TSIG fudge value (allowed skew) is reasonable — the default 300 seconds is usually sufficient.
Perbedaan Utama
DNS 7: RR Set Exists when it should not. A resource record set exists that the update prerequisite says should not.
DNS 18: Signature out of time window. The TSIG signature timestamp is outside the allowed clock skew, indicating a time synchronization issue.
You encounter 7 when a DNS UPDATE failed because a specific RRset (e.g., an A record) already exists when the prerequisite required it to be absent.
You encounter 18 when the clocks on the DNS client and server are too far apart (usually more than 5 minutes), causing TSIG signature validation to fail.
Kapan Menggunakan Yang Mana
For 7 (YXRRSET): Delete the conflicting RRset before retrying the update, or adjust your prerequisite conditions to match the actual zone state. For 18 (BADTIME): Synchronize clocks on both machines using NTP. Check that the TSIG fudge value (allowed skew) is reasonable — the default 300 seconds is usually sufficient.
