   Table 1 Parameters for adding an SRV record set

   Parameter	Description	Example Value
   Name	Service (for example, FTP, SSH, or SIP) provided over the specified protocol (for example, TCP or UDP) on a host The format is _Service name._Protocol.	_ftp._tcp _ftp._tcp indicates that the host provides the FTP service over TCP.
   Type	Type of the record set If a message is displayed indicating that the record set you are trying to create exists, the record set conflicts with an existing record set. For details, see Why Is a Message Indicating Conflict with an Existing Record Set Displayed When I Add a Record Set?	SRV – Record servers providing specific services
   Line	Resolution line. The DNS server will return the IP address of the specified line, depending on where the visitors come from. This parameter is supported only for public domain names. Default: returns the default resolution result irrespective of where the visitors come from. ISP: returns the resolution result based on visitors' carrier networks. For details, see Configuring ISP Lines. Region: returns the resolution result based on visitors' geographical locations. For details, see Configuring Region Lines.	Default
   TTL (s)	Cache duration of the record set on a local DNS server, in seconds. The value ranges from 300 to 2147483647, and the default is 300. If your service address changes frequently, set TTL to a smaller value. Learn more about TTL.	The default value is 300s, which is, 5 minutes.
   Value	Server address You can enter a maximum of 50 record values, each on a separate line. The value format is [priority] [weight] [port number] [server address]. Configuration rules: The priority, weight, and port number range from 0 to 65535. A smaller priority value indicates a higher priority. A larger weight value indicates a larger weight. The server address is the domain name of the target server. Ensure that the domain name can be resolved. NOTE: The system checks the priority values first. If the priority values are the same, the system will check the weight values.	2 1 2355 example_server.test.com
   Weight	(Optional) Weight of a record set. The value ranges from 0 to 1000, and the default value is 1. This parameter is supported only for public domain names. If a resolution line in a zone contains multiple record sets of the same type, you can set different weights to each record set. For details, see Configuring Weighted Routing.	1
