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>: <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 System Manager ID and System Password have been set, 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. Confirm that a screen shown left appears on the display, then press the right Any key to select <Done>.
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <TCP/IP Settings>, then press [OK].
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <IPv6 Settings>, then press [OK].
  1. Use [], [] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <DNS 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 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 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 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 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].
  1. Use [], [], or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Off> or <On>, 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. Press (Main Menu) to return to the Main Menu screen.
  1. Restart the machine.

Turn OFF the machine and wait at least 10 seconds before turning it ON again.
