2-12 IPv6 DNS ConfigurationEA boards (such as LSQ1GP12EA and LSQ1TGX1EA) do not support IPv6 features.Introduction to IPv6 DNSIPv6 DNS is responsible for translating domain names into IPv6 addresses. Similar to IPv4 DNS, IPv6DNS involves static domain name resolution and dynamic domain name resolution. The functions andimplementations of the two types of domain name resolution are the same as those of IPv4 DNS. Fordetails, refer to IPv4 DNS Configuration.Configuring the IPv6 DNS ClientConfiguring Static Domain Name ResolutionConfiguring static domain name resolution refers to specifying the mappings between host names andIPv6 addresses. Static domain name resolution allows applications such as Telnet to contact hosts byusing host names instead of IPv6 addresses.Follow these steps to configure static domain name resolution:To do… Use the command… RemarksEnter system view system-view —Configure a mapping between ahost name and an IPv6 address ipv6 host hostname ipv6-addressRequiredNot configured bydefault.z A host name can be mapped to one IPv6 address only. If you map a host name to different IPv6addresses, the last configuration takes effect.z You can configure up to 50 mappings between domain name and IPv6 address.Configuring Dynamic Domain Name ResolutionTo send DNS queries to a correct server for resolution, dynamic domain name resolution needs to beenabled and a DNS server needs to be configured.
