IPv6 Domain Name System (DNS) is responsible for translating domain names into IPv6 addresses. Like
IPv4 DNS, IPv6 DNS includes static domain name resolution and dynamic domain name resolution. The
functions and implementations of the two types of domain name resolution are the same as those of IPv4
DNS. For more information, see "Configuring IPv4 DNS."

Configuring the IPv6 DNS client
This section explains how to configure static and dynamic domain resolution for the IPv6 DNS client.
870BConfiguring static domain name resolution
Configuring static domain name resolution refers to specifying the mappings between host names and
IPv6 addresses. Static domain name resolution allows applications such as Telnet to contact hosts by
using host names instead of IPv6 addresses.
Follow these guidelines when you configure static domain name resolution:
• A host name can be mapped to one IPv6 address only. If you map a host name to different IPv6
addresses, the last configuration takes effect.
• You can configure up to 50 mappings between domain name and IPv6 address on a device.
To configure static domain name resolution:
