IPv6 management features
7
Restricting Web management access to an IPv6 host
You can specify a single device with an IPv6 address to have Web management access to the host
device. No other device except the one with the specified IPv6 address can access the Web
Management Interface.
Example
PowerConnect(config)#web client ipv6 3000:2383:e0bb::2/128
Syntax: web client ipv6 <ipv6-address>
The <ipv6-address> you specify must be in hexadecimal format using 16-bit values between colons
as documented in RFC 2373.
IPv6 logging
This feature allows you to specify an IPv6 server as the Syslog server.
Specifying an IPv6 Syslog server
To specify an IPv6 Syslog server, enter the log host ipv6 command as shown below.
Example
PowerConnect(config)#log host ipv6 2000:2383:e0bb::4/128
Syntax: [no] log host ipv6 <ipv6-address> [<udp-port-num>]
The <ipv6-address> must be in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in
RFC 2373.
The <udp-port-num> optional parameter specifies the UDP application port used for the Syslog
facility.
Name-to-IPv6 address resolution using IPv6 DNS server
The Domain Name Server (DNS) resolver feature lets you use a host name to perform Telnet, ping,
and traceroute commands. You can also define a DNS domain on a Dell PowerConnect device and
thereby recognize all hosts within that domain. After you define a domain name, the Dell
PowerConnect device automatically appends the appropriate domain to the host and forwards it to
the domain name server.
For example, if the domain “newyork.com” is defined on a Dell PowerConnect device, and you want
to initiate a ping to host “NYC01” on that domain, you need to reference only the host name in the
command instead of the host name and its domain name. For example, you could enter either of
the following commands to initiate the ping.
PowerConnect#ping nyc01
PowerConnect#ping nyc01.newyork.com
Defining an IPv6 DNS entry
IPv6 defines new DNS record types to resolve queries for domain names to IPv6 addresses, as well
as IPv6 addresses to domain names. Dell PowerConnect devices running IPv6 software support
AAAA DNS records, which are defined in RFC 1886.
