Description This article describes how to configure the 'preference' settings in the FortiGate DNS database.
Scope FortiGate v7.2.X, v7.4.X.
Solution

FortiGate enables the configuration of a DNS database server. Below are the available commands for managing the DNS database server: config system dns-database

 

The DNS database includes a parameter called 'preference', which is applicable only when the DNS entry type is MX (Mail Exchange).

 

GUI configuration:

 

Configuration of DNS databaseConfiguration of DNS database

 

Configuration of the ZoneConfiguration of the Zone

 

Configuration of the preferenceConfiguration of the preference

 

CLI configuration:

 

config system dns-database

    edit <name>

        config dns-entry

           edit <id>

               set type MX set preference {integer}

           next

        end

 

The 'preference' parameter in MX (Mail Exchange) records is used to specify the priority of mail servers for handling email delivery.

 

Note:

The lower the value is, the higher the preference is.
