Example Prompts

Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant things like:

• "Show me all A records in the example.com zone"
• "Create a host record for server01.example.com with the next available IP in 10.0.1.0/24"
• "What DHCP leases are active on the 192.168.1.0/24 network?"
• "Find all DNS records pointing to 10.0.0.5"
• "Get the next 5 available IPs from the 10.10.0.0/16 network"
• "Create a CNAME alias web.example.com pointing to lb.example.com"
• "Show me network utilization for all 10.x networks"
• "Restart DNS services on the grid"
