On SR OS routers, it is possible to query the DNS server for IPv6 addresses. By default the
DNS names are queried for A-records only (address-preference is IPv4-only). If the address-
preference is set to IPv6 first, the DNS server will be queried for AAAA-records first, and if
there is no successful reply, then A-records.

printable text string of up to 32 characters.

identification of the contact person for this managed node, together with information on how
to contact this person.The system contact can be any ASCII-printable text string of up to 80
characters.
System Location
The system location is the MIB II sysLocation object which is a text string conventionally
used to describe the node's physical location, for example, "Bldg MV-11, 1st Floor, Room
