Does DNS Support IPv6?
Yes. DNS can translate domain names to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
To translate a domain name to an IPv4 address, add an A record set. To translate a domain name to an IPv6 address, add an AAAA record set.
If your domain name is example.com, you can add the following record sets.
Domain Name |
Type |
Value |
|---|---|---|
www.example.com |
A |
192.168.1.2 |
www.example.com |
AAAA |
2407:c080:0:ffff:ffff:fffe:0:1 |
Huawei Cloud DNS servers (ns1.huaweicloud-dns.com, ns1.huaweicloud-dns.cn, ns1.huaweicloud-dns.net, and ns1.huaweicloud-dns.org) support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
Local DNS servers, either supporting IPv4 or IPv6 or both, can send DNS queries to DNS servers.
