10.3.2 Configuring a Static IPv6 DNS Entry

You can create a table of mappings between domain names and IPv6 addresses and add common
domain names to this table. When a client needs to use the IPv6 address corresponding to a
domain name, the client can search the table for the required IPv6 address. This improves the
efficiency of domain name resolution.
Procedure
Step 1 Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2 Run:
ipv6
You can enable the IPv6 capability.
Step 3 Run:
ipv6 host host-name ipv6-address
The host name and the corresponding IPv6 address are configured.
If the same host is configured with IPv6 addresses for several times (the maximum times is 8
IPv6 addresses), the IPv6 address configured earliest is used when needing to find the host with
the IPv6 address, such as ping this host.

10.3.3 Configuring the Dynamic IPv6 DNS Services

To perform dynamic domain name resolution, you need a special domain name resolution server,
which runs a server program. This server provides mappings between domain names and IPv6
addresses and receives resolution requests from the client.
Context
If the IPv6 DNS server is configured with a link-local address, the interface name should also
be configured with the IPv6 address.
