Parameters

host-name: Specifies a host name, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 253 characters. It can include letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and dots (.).

ipv6-address: Specifies the IPv6 address of the host.

vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies an MPLS L3VPN instance by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. To create a host name-to-IPv6 address mapping for the public network, do not specify this option.

Usage guidelines

The system allows a maximum of 1024 host name-to-IPv6 address mappings for the public network or each VPN instance. You can configure host name-to-IPv6 address mappings for both public network and VPN instances.

For the public network or a VPN instance, each host name maps to only one IPv6 address. If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Do not use the ping ipv6 command parameter -a, -c, -i, -m, -q, -s, -t, -tc, -v, or -vpn-instance as the host name. For more information about the ping ipv6 command parameters, see Network Management and Monitoring Command Reference.

Examples

# Map IPv6 address 2001::1 to host name aaa for the public network.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ipv6 host aaa 2001::1
