System Management Parameters
System management commands allow you to configure basic system management functions such
as the system name, the router’s location and coordinates, and CLLI code as well as time zones,
Network Time Protocol (NTP), Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) properties, CRON and
synchronization properties.
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.
