How do I lookup an ipv6 address using the dig command?



  • Also see man page for dig.

           -t type
               The resource record type to query. It can be any valid query type.
               If it is a resource record type supported in BIND 9, it can be
               given by the type mnemonic (such as "NS" or "AAAA"). The default
               query type is "A", unless the -x option is supplied to indicate a
               reverse lookup. A zone transfer can be requested by specifying a
               type of AXFR. When an incremental zone transfer (IXFR) is required,
               set the type to ixfr=N. The incremental zone transfer will contain
               the changes made to the zone since the serial number in the zone's
               SOA record was N.
    
               All resource record types can be expressed as "TYPEnn", where "nn"
               is the number of the type. If the resource record type is not
               supported in BIND 9, the result will be displayed as described in
               RFC 3597.
