Some IPv6 commands for daily use
Print the route packets trace to IPv6 network host.
1 | traceroute6 ipv6.idrobot.net |
Lookup AAAA record.
1 | dig AAAA ipv6.idrobot.net |
IPv6 DIG PTR reccord.
1 | dig -x 2001:470:1f0b:1604::254 |
Check redirector.name glue records by dig command.
As it is a .name domain first we should check root servers for .net by the following command:
1 | dig NS name |
You will get 10 root servers:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 | ;; ANSWER SECTION: name. 10800 IN NS m6.nstld.com. name. 10800 IN NS d6.nstld.com. name. 10800 IN NS k6.nstld.com. name. 10800 IN NS f6.nstld.com. name. 10800 IN NS h6.nstld.com. name. 10800 IN NS g6.nstld.com. name. 10800 IN NS a6.nstld.com. name. 10800 IN NS j6.nstld.com. name. 10800 IN NS l6.nstld.com. name. 10800 IN NS c6.nstld.com. |
You can choose any root server for next query , I will take g6.nstld.com
1 | dig ns1.redirector.name @g6.nstld.com |
As output I get:
1 2 3 4 | ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: ns1.redirector.name. 10800 IN A 188.40.116.206 ns1.redirector.name. 10800 IN AAAA 2001:470:1f0b:1604::3 ns2.redirector.name. 10800 IN A 188.40.116.216 |
