1.2.7 Configuring IPv6 DNS
I. Configuring a static IPv6 DNS entry
You can directly use a host name when applying telnet applications and the system will
resolve the host name into an IPv6 address. Each host name can correspond to only
one IPv6 address. A newly configured IPv6 address will overwrite the previous one.
Follow these steps to configure a static IPv6 DNS entry:

II. Configuring dynamic DNS resolution
If you want to use the dynamic domain name function, you can use the following
command to enable the dynamic domain name resolution function. In addition, you
should configure a DNS server so that a query request message can be sent to the
correct server for resolution. The system can support at most six DNS servers.
You can configure a domain name suffix so that you only need to enter some fields of a
domain name and the system automatically adds the preset suffix for address
resolution. The system can support at most 10 domain name suffixes.
