Fix Recommendation

It is important to verify that both the Infoblox and other DNS service member have the identical TSIG configuration and time synchronization before starting this procedure.

1. Navigate to Data Management >> DNS >> Zones tab.
2. Select a zone and click "Edit". Click on "Zone Transfers" tab and click "Override" for the "Allow Zone Transfers to" section.
3. Use the radio button to select "Set of ACEs" and the "Add" drop-down to configure a TSIG key.
4. When complete, click "Save & Close" to save the changes and exit the "Properties" screen.
5. Perform a service restart if necessary.
6. Verify zone transfers are operational after configuration of TSIG.

Check Contents

1. Navigate to Data Management >> DNS >> Zones tab.
2. Review each zone by clicking "Edit" and inspecting the "DNS service members" tab.
3. If all entries in the "Type" column are configured as "Grid", this check is Not Applicable.
4. Verify that each zone containing non-Grid DNS service members is further verified by inspection of the "Zone Transfers" tab and configuration of TSIG Access Control Entry (ACE).
5. When complete, click "Cancel" to exit the "Properties" screen.

If there is a non-Grid system that uses zone transfers but does not have a TSIG key, this is a finding.
