5. Specify a DNS server
IPv6 address.

Configuring the IPv6 DNS client

Configuring static domain name resolution

Static domain name resolution allows applications such as Telnet to contact hosts by using host
names instead of IPv6 addresses.
Follow these guidelines when you configure static domain name resolution:
•
For the public network or a VPN instance, each host name maps to only one IPv6 address. The
most recent configuration for a host name takes effect.
•
You can configure the following items:
IPv6 DNS entries for both public network and VPN instances.
A maximum of 1024 IPv6 DNS entries for the public network or each VPN instance.
To configure static domain name resolution:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Configure a host name-to-IPv6
address mapping.

Configuring dynamic domain name resolution

To use dynamic domain name resolution, a DNS server address is required so that DNS queries can
be sent to a correct server for resolution.
In addition, you can configure a DNS suffix that the system automatically adds to the incomplete
domain name that a user enters.
Configuration guidelines
Follow these guidelines when you configure dynamic domain name resolution:
•
In system view, you can specify a maximum of six DNS server IPv4 addresses for the public
network or each VPN instance. You can specify DNS server IPv4 addresses for both public
network and VPN instances.
•
In system view, you can specify a maximum of six DNS server IPv6 addresses for the public
network or each VPN instance. You can specify DNS server IPv6 addresses for both public
network and VPN instances.
•
In interface view, you can specify a maximum of six DNS server IPv4 addresses for the public
network or each VPN instance. You can specify DNS server IPv4 addresses for both public
network and VPN instances.
•
An IPv6 DNS query is first sent to the DNS server IPv6 addresses. If no reply is received, it is
sent to the DNS server IPv4 addresses.
•
A DNS server address specified in system view takes priority over a DNS server address
specified in interface view. A DNS server address specified earlier has a higher priority. A DNS
