Searches and transforms
Configuring zone searches and transforms
Zone searches and transforms are configured on a zone basis
using the
Match
options. To access these options:
Local Zone
VCS configuration > Local Zone > Matches
•
.
You will be taken to the
Local Zone Matches
page.
xConfiguration Zones LocalZone Match [1..5
•
]
External zones
VCS configuration > Zones
•
.
You will be taken to the
Zones
page.
Click on the zone you wish to configure (or
New
to create and
configure a new zone). You will be taken to the
Edit zone
page.
Scroll down until you get to the
Match1
section.
xConfiguration Zones Zone [1..200] Match [1..5
•
]
Match options
Mode
Determines if and when a query will be sent to this zone. Options
are:
AlwaysMatch
: the zone will always be queried.
PatternMatch
: the zone will only be queried if the alias queried for
matches the specified
Pattern String
.
Disabled
: this match is not used. If all 5 matches for a zone are
disabled, the zone will never be queried.
Priority
Determines the order in which the zone will be sent a search
request. Zones with priority
1
matches are searched first,
followed by priority
2
, and so on. More than one match can be
assigned the same priority; in this case the matching zones will
be queried simultaneously
Pattern string
(Applies only if the
Mode
is
PatternMatch
.)
Specifies the pattern against which the alias is compared.
Pattern type
(Applies only if the
Mode
is
PatternMatch
.)
Determines the way in which the string must match the alias.
Options are:
Exact
: the string must match the alias character for character.
Prefix
: the string must appear at the beginning of the alias.
Suffix
: the string must appear at the end of the alias.
Regex
: the string will be treated as a regular expression.
Pattern behavior
(Applies only if the
Mode
is
PatternMatch
.)
Determines if and how the matched part of the alias will be
modified. Options are:
Leave
: the alias will not be modified.
Strip
: the matching prefix or suffix will be removed from the alias.
Replace
: the matching part of the alias will be substituted with
the text in the
Replace String
.
Replace string
(Applies only if the
Mode
is
PatternMatch
and
Pattern Behavior
is
Replace
.)
Specifies the string to be used as a substitution for the part of
the alias that matched the pattern.
You can test whether a pattern will match a particular
alias and be transformed in the expected way by using the
Check pattern
page (
Maintenance > Tools > Check
pattern
).
Default settings
By default the Local Zone and all other configured zones have a
Match 1
configured with a
Mode
of
AlwaysMatch
. All remaining
matches will be set to
Disabled
. This means that (unless you
make any changes) the zone will be queried for the original alias,
with no transforms applied.
The difference between the default settings for each type of zone
is the
Priority
assigned to
Match 1
. The default priorities are:
Local Zone
•
: 50
Neighbor
•
,
traversal client
or
traversal server zone
: 100
ENUM
•
or
DNS zone
: 150
This default configuration means that the Local Zone will be
searched first for all aliases. If not found locally, all neighbor,
traversal client and traversal server zones will then be searched,
and if they cannot locate the alias the request will be sent to any
DNS and ENUM zones.
You can change the default
Match 1
Mode
and
Priority
and add
additional Matches for all zones, including the Local Zone.
