How to Verify That DNS IPv6 PTR Records Are Updated Correctly

In this procedure, you use the nslookup command to display PTR records for DNS IPv6.

  1. On the command line, type the following command:


    % /usr/sbin/nslookup
    

    The default server name and address display, followed by the nslookup command angle bracket prompt.

  2. To see the PTR records, type the following command at the angle bracket prompt:


    >set q=PTR
    
  3. Quit the command by typing exit.
