1.7.2 Enable Sending of Multicast Echo Replies
If hosts are capable of relying multicast echo requests, Host A can attack Host B by
sending an echo request with the source being Host B to a multicast address, then all
the hosts in the multicast group will send echo replies to Host B. Therefore, a device is
disabled from replying multicast echo requests by default.
Follow these steps to enable sending of multicast echo replies:

1.8 Configuring IPv6 DNS
1.8.1 Configuring Static IPv6 Domain Name Resolution
Configuring static IPv6 domain name resolution is to establish the mapping between
host name and IPv6 address. When applying such applications as Telnet, you can
directly use a host name and the system will resolve the host name into an IPv6
address. Each host name can correspond to only one IPv6 address.

1.8.2 Configuring Dynamic IPv6 Domain Name 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 DNS suffix so that you only need to enter some fields of a domain
name and the system can automatically add the preset suffix for address resolution.
The system can support at most 10 DNS suffixes.
