IPv6 Diagnostic and Troubleshooting

DNS Resolver for IPv6

been configured as the domain name on the switch and the address of a DNS server residing in that domain is also configured on the switch. The commands for these steps are as follows:

ProCurve(config)# ip dns server priority 1 2001:db8::127:10 ProCurve(config)# ip dns domain-name mygroup.procurve.net ProCurve(config)# ping6 mars-1 fe80::215:60ff:fe7a:adc0 is alive, time = 1 ms

Figure 8-3. Example of Configuring for a Local DNS Server and Pinging a Registered Device

However, for the same “mars-1” device, if mygroup.procurve.net was not the configured domain name, you would have to use the fully qualified domain name for the device named mars-1:

ProCurve# ping6 mars-1.mygroup.procurve.net

For further information and examples on using the DNS feature, refer to “DNS Resolver” in appendix C, “Troubleshooting”, in the current Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.

Viewing the Current Configuration

Use the show ip dns command to view the current DNS server configuration.

Use the show run command to view both the current DNS server addresses and the current DNS domain name in the active configuration.

Operating Notes

In software release K.13.01, DNS addressing is not configurable from a

DHCPv6 server.
