dnsServConfigReset

Module: DNS-SERVER-MIB

OID (symbolic): DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServConfigReset

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Description: Status/action object to reinitialize any persistant name server state. When set to reset(2), any persistant name server state (such as a process) is reinitialized as if the name server had just been started. This value will never be returned by a read operation. When read, one of the following values will be returned: other(1) - server in some unknown state; initializing(3) - server (re)initializing; running(4) - server currently running.

What is dnsServConfigReset?

This OID triggers a reset of the DNS server back to its initial state, clearing any temporary settings or processes. When set to 'reset', it reinitializes the server as if it just started up. A network administrator would use this action to restore a DNS server to a clean state without manually stopping and restarting it.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.1.5
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServConfigReset

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.1.5.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DNS-SERVER-MIB::dnsServConfigReset.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.1.1.1.5.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> dnsServConfigReset.1
