• Configuration of the DNS resolver to resolve any host query requires that you first set the default 

domain name with the ip domain-name command and enable the DNS resolver function with the ip 
domain-lookup command before you specify the IPv6 addresses of the IPv6 DNS servers by using the 
ipv6 name-server command.

• You cannot use multicast, loopback, link-local and unspecified IPv6 addresses for specifying IPv6 

DNS servers.

• You can configure up to three IPv6 DNS servers and three IPv4 DNS servers in a switch.
