DNS proxy configuration example

As shown in Figure 45, configure Device A as the DNS proxy to forward DNS packets between the DNS client (Device B) and the DNS server at 4000::1.

Before performing the following configuration, make sure that:

• Device A, the DNS server, and the host are reachable to each other.

• The IPv6 addresses of the interfaces are configured as shown in Figure 45.

1. Configure the DNS server:

   This configuration might vary by DNS server. When a PC running Windows Server 2008 R2 acts as the DNS server, see "Dynamic domain name resolution configuration example" for configuration information.

2. Configure the DNS proxy:

   # Specify the DNS server 4000::1.

   <DeviceA> system-view
   [DeviceA] ipv6 dns server 4000::1
   

   # Enable DNS proxy.

   [DeviceA] dns proxy enable
   

3. Configure the DNS client:

   # Specify the DNS server 2000::2.

   <DeviceB> system-view 
   [DeviceB] ipv6 dns server 2000::2
   

# Verify that DNS proxy on Device A functions.

[DeviceB] ping host.com
