New Features
DNS Audit Tools (Alpha): SEEKING USER FEEDBACK
Introducing a first version of DNS audit tools to perform a simple audit of both forward and reverse DNS. The tools set includes UI, API end points, and a command line interface. The audit results include the DNS as found in the 6connect ProVision database, the results from a resolver, and if there is a conflict in these two pieces of information. 6connect is seeking user feedback on this tool; contact us at support@6connect.com with your thoughts.
Access the UI version of the Tool by going to the desired block in IPAM Manage, click on the Action Menu (wrench), then select "DNS Audit (Alpha):
This takes you to the DNS Audit page.
From there, select the "Audit Forward DNS" or "Audit Reverse DNS" buttons to provide a list of IPs, the Reverse Values, Conflict Status, and Resolved Host(s).

Juniper Logical Systems support for Peering:
ProVision now supports Juniper Logical Systems for Peering, with the Logical Systems information tied to the router resource. UI elements have been added as follows:
- A Logical Systems field appears in the the Peering "Add Router" dialog when a Juniper router is selected.
To add Logical Systems to a router, go to the Peering Tab and click on the "Add Router" button. Select the Juniper router make/model, and the Logical System text field will appear. Enter the Logical System and router information, peer group information, and hit "Add Router" when complete. For routers with multiple associated Logical Systems, you may create duplicate router resources with different logical systems information.
Associating the router with a peer group is necessary to link the router to a particular exchange.
Please be sure to add the Peer Group information either in the "Add Router" dialog or in the Peer Group Gadget prior to adding sessions.
- Peering - Main - Add Session: Router drop down indicates the router, then Logical System info in parenthesis (e.g. "Juniper (test)") .
After having added a Logical System to a router, that router + Logical System combination will be available to select in the Peering - Add Session dialog box. The Peer Group associated with that router / Logical System will automatically be selected. Continue to fill in your session information, then hit "Save".
When viewing your session in the Sessions list, your router will appear with the Logical Systems information in parenthesis.
- Peering - Main - Config Manager: When configuring a session that is part of an Logical System, the first line of the config displayed should be "set cli logical-system ﹤name﹥"
- Peering - Import: When importing sessions from a Juniper router, the Router drop down indicates the router, then Logical System info in parenthesis (e.g. "Juniper (test)"). Also, there is now a Logical System column in the results.
