Configuration procedure
# Configure a mapping between host name host.com and IPv6 address 1::2.
<Firewall> system-view
[Firewall] ipv6 host host.com 1::2
# Enable IPv6 packet forwarding.
[Firewall] ipv6
# Use the ping ipv6 host.com command to verify that the Firewall can use static domain name resolution
to resolve domain name host.com into IPv6 address 1::2.
[Firewall] ping ipv6 host.com

Dynamic domain name resolution configuration example
Network requirements
As shown in Figure 370, the Firewall wants to access the host by using an easy-to-remember domain
name rather than an IPv6 address. The IPv6 address of the DNS server is 2::2/64 and the server has a
com domain, which stores the mapping between domain name host and IPv6 address 1::1/64.
Configure dynamic domain name resolution and the domain name suffix com on the Firewall that serves
as a DNS client so that the Firewall can use domain name host to access the host with the domain name
host.com and the IPv6 address 1::1/64.
