This page lists example name server test sessions that include queries sent by the registrar and responses obtained by the EPP server.

In these examples, the lines sent to the service are indicated, at the start of the line, by '⇒' and the response lines by '⇐'.

Example 1: Server test for restena.lu run in live mode

This test involves three new name servers (two ultradns servers and the ns1.restena.lu server based on IPv6).

⇒ TST01 live restena.lu  

⇒ ns1.restena.lu,158.64.1.23

 ⇒ ns2.restena.lu,158.64.1.24  

⇒  

⇐ [ok] TST01 Nameserver test succeeded  

⇐    [II] Test on hosts for domain 'restena.lu'  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'ns1.restena.lu' with address '158.64.1.23' (provided)  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'ns1.restena.lu' with address '2001:a18:1:0:0:0:0:23'  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'ns2.restena.lu' with address '158.64.1.24' (provided)  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'udns1.ultradns.net' with address '204.69.234.1'  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'udns2.ultradns.net' with address '204.74.101.1'

 

Example 2: Adjusting the configuration option in order to switch to a machine-readable output, and the same query executed in that mode. 
⇒ CFG01 cfg machine-output on  

⇒  

⇐ [ok] CFG01 Command succeded

⇐    [II] 5 'machine-output'  

⇐  

⇒ TST01 live restena.lu  

⇒ ns1.restena.lu,158.64.1.23  

⇒ ns2.restena.lu,158.64.1.24  

⇒  

⇐ [ok] TST01 Nameserver test succeeded  

⇐    [II] 17 'restena.lu'  

⇐    [NN] 19 'ns1.restena.lu' '158.64.1.23'  

⇐    [NN] 18 'ns1.restena.lu' '2001:a18:1:0:0:0:0:23'

⇐    [NN] 19 'ns2.restena.lu' '158.64.1.24'  

⇐    [NN] 18 'udns1.ultradns.net' '204.69.234.1'  

⇐    [NN] 18 'udns2.ultradns.net' '204.74.101.1'  

⇐  

 

Example 3: Test for dns.lu executed in cache mode only

In the example, data are absent from the cache. The test returns an overall "miss" result because the detailed information has no real meaning.

⇒ TST02 cached dns.lu  

⇒ ns1.dns.lu,158.64.229.2  

⇒

⇐ [miss] TST02 Nameserver test failed with cache-miss  

⇐    [II] Test on hosts for domain 'dns.lu'  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'ns1.dns.lu' with address '158.64.229.2' (provided)  

⇐    [MM] Missing host 'ns1.dns.lu' with address '158.64.229.2' from cache  

⇐    [EE] No answer from nameserver 'ns1.dns.lu' at address '158.64.229.2'  

⇐    [EE] No authoritative working nameservers found  

 

Example 4: Test for dns.lu executed in update mode

This test involves a direct test, and updating the cache if the test is passed (A later test "in the cache" would return the same information). 

⇒ TST03 update dns.lu  

⇒ ns1.dns.lu,158.64.229.2  

⇒  

⇐ [ok] TST03 Nameserver test succeeded  

⇐    [II] Test on hosts for domain 'dns.lu'  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'ns1.dns.lu' with address '158.64.229.2' (provided)  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'ns1.restena.lu' with address '158.64.1.23'

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'ns1.restena.lu' with address '2001:a18:1:0:0:0:0:23'  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'ns2.restena.lu' with address '158.64.1.24'  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'udns1.ultradns.net' with address '204.69.234.1'  

⇐    [NN] Nameserver 'udns2.ultradns.net' with address '204.74.101.1'  ⇐  

 

Example 5: Test for restena.lu executed with DNSSEC validation.

The DS record is shown with a colon (:) as a field separator, and is separated from the domain name by a comma (,). 

Note: The details of the response were omitted

⇒ TST01 live restena.lu,21851:8:2:9D7DC81F58C100399BD735E76BA089B55CBAE6C0B0A0721713B7B6F71D631288  

⇒ ns1.restena.lu,158.64.1.23  

⇒ ns2.restena.lu,158.64.1.24  

⇒  

⇐ [ok] TST01 Nameserver test succeeded  

⇐ ...  

 

Example 6: Test for using the ‘quit’ command 
⇒ TST04 quit  

⇒

⇐ [help] TST04 Help on service usage

⇐    [II] Closing connection  

⇐  

 

Note: A second blank line after the last command also closes the session.
