Add-DnsServerForwarder

  • Reference
Module:
DnsServer

Adds server level forwarders to a DNS server.

Syntax

Add-DnsServerForwarder
   [-IPAddress] <IPAddress[]>
   [-AsJob]
   [-CimSession <CimSession[]>]
   [-ComputerName <String>]
   [-PassThru]
   [-ThrottleLimit <Int32>]
   [-Confirm]
   [-WhatIf]

Description

The Add-DnsServerForwarder cmdlet adds one or more forwarders to a DNS server's forwarders list. If you prefer one of the forwarders, put that forwarder first in the series of forwarder IP addresses. After you first use this cmdlet to add forwarders to a DNS server, this cmdlet adds forwarders to the end of the forwarders list.

Examples

Example 1: Add a forwarder to a DNS server by using an IPv6 address

PS C:\> Add-DnsServerForwarder -IPAddress 2001:4898:7020:f100:458f:e6a2:fcaf:698c -PassThru

This command adds the IPv6 address 2001:4898:7020:f100:458f:e6a2:fcaf:698c to the list of forwarders on a local DNS server.

Example 2: Add a forwarder to a DNS server by using an IPAddress

PS C:\>Add-DnsServerForwarder -IPAddress 172.23.90.124 -PassThru

This command adds the IP address 172.23.90.124 to the list of forwarders on a local DNS server.

The default is the current session on the local computer.
