Create AAAA record
Dynu gives you full control over all the DNS configurations for your domain names.
You can log onto the control panel to manage your DNS records.
The 'AAAA' record is similar to 'A' record, but it allows you to point the domain to an ipv6 address. You may read more about IPv6 here.
To add an 'AAAA' record, you may follow these 3 steps.
Step 2
If you want an 'AAAA' record for your domain name, you should check the option Enable IPv6 Address.
IPv6 Address Enter the IPv6 address of your domain name. For example, 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:ff00:0042:8329. Leave empty if you want your IP to be updated dynamically.
NOTE: You may edit the IPv6 address for an alias in
Aliases
section
Step 3
Check if your AAAA record has been setup correctly using DNS Lookup tool. Enter yourdomain.com as Hostname, and choose "AAAA-IPv6 Alias" as Type.
IPv6 address
Currently, IP addresses are based on version 4 of the internet protocol, where there are 4 numbers ranging from 0-255. For example 182.112.33.47. IPv6 has a much larger address space where there are 8 numbers ranging from 0000-FFFF. For example, 2001:db8:85a3:8d3:1319:8a2e:370:7348 . IPv6 also has protocol enhancements for security as well as many other features.
The 128 bits of an IPv6 address are represented in 8 groups of 16 bits each. Each group is written as 4 hexadecimal digits and the groups are separated by colons (:). The address 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:ff00:0042:8329 is an example of this representation. For convenience, an IPv6 address may be abbreviated to shorter notations by application of the following rules, where possible. For example, 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:ff00:0042:8329 can be shortened to 2001:db8::ff00:42:8329.
