Setting IPv6 DNS

Return to Overview

DNS (Domain Name Service) is a service used for associating a host name (which is a name of a computer or a printer on a TCP/IPv6 network) with a unique IPv6 address.

The default settings are as follows:

  • <Use Same Host/Domain as IPv4>: <Off>
  • <DNS Dynamic Update Set.>: <Off>
  • <Manual Address Regist>: <Off>
  • <Register Stateful Address>: <Off>

Remark
  • <DNS Settings> can be selected when <Use IPv6> is set to <On>.
  1. Press (Main Menu).
  1. Press the right Any key to select <Additional Func.>.
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <System Management Set.>, then press [OK].

If the screen appears prompting you to enter the System Manager ID and System Password, enter the System Manager ID and System Password using - (numeric keys), then press (Log In/Out).

  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Network Settings>, then press [OK].

  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <DNS Server Settings>, then press [OK].
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Primary DNS Server>, then press [OK].
  1. Use the software keyboard to enter the IPv6 address of a primary DNS server, then press the right Any key to select <Set>.
  • For information on how to use the software keyboard, see "Entering Characters."
  • You cannot enter a multicast address or address composed entirely of zeros in <Primary DNS Server> or <Secondary DNS Server>.
  • If you set <Use DHCPv6> to <On>, the IPv6 address of a DNS server you set manually will be overwritten.
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Secondary DNS Server>, then press [OK].

If you do not need to specify secondary DNS server, skip to step 14.

  1. Use the software keyboard to enter the IPv6 address of a secondary DNS server, then press the right Any key to select <Set>.
  • For information on how to use the software keyboard, see "Entering Characters."
  • You cannot enter a multicast address or address composed entirely of zeros in <Primary DNS Server> or <Secondary DNS Server>.
  • If you set <Use DHCPv6> to <On>, the IPv6 address of a DNS server you set manually will be overwritten.
  1. Press the right Any key to select <Done>.
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <DNS Host/Domain Name>, then press [OK].
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Off>, then press the right Any key to <Set>.
  • <Off>: Sets a different host name or domain name for IPv6 communication.
  • <On>: Sets the same host name or domain name used with IPv4 communication for IPv6 communication. Press [OK] and skip to step 20.
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Host Name>, then press [OK].
  1. Use the software keyboard to enter the desired host name, then press the right Any key to select <Set>.
  • For information on how to use the software keyboard, see "Entering Characters."
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Domain Name>, then press [OK].
  1. Use the software keyboard to enter the network domain name, then press the right Any key to select <Set>.
  • For information on how to use the software keyboard, see "Entering Characters."
  • If you set <Use DHCPv6> to <On>, the IPv6 address of a DNS server you set manually will be overwritten.
  1. Press the right Any key to <Done>, then press [OK].
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <DNS Dynamic Update Set.>, then press [OK].
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <On>, then press the right Any key to select <Set>.
  • <Off>: Does not use the DNS server dynamic update function. Skip to step 28.
  • <On>: Enables you to automatically register the IPv6 address, host name, and domain name set for the machine in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating if your environment includes a dynamic DNS server.
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Manual Address Regist.>, then press [OK].
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Off> or <On>, then press [OK].
  • <Off>: Does not register a manual address in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating.
  • <On>: Registers a manual address in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating.
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Register Stateful Address>, then press [OK].
  • <Off>: Does not register a stateful address in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating.
  • <On>: Registers a stateful address in the DNS server using dynamic DNS updating.
  • Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 do not support DHCPv6 servers.
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Off> or <On>, then press [OK].
