How to Display IPv6 Name Service Information

In this procedure, you use the nslookup command to display IPv6 name service information.

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

   % /usr/sbin/nslookup

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

2. To see information about a particular host, type the following commands at the angle bracket prompt:

   >set q=any >host-name

3. To see only AAAA records, type the following command at the angle bracket prompt:

   >set q=AAAA

4. Quit the command by typing exit.
