# ip ddns ipv6

## Syntax

```
[no] ip ddns ipv6 off|on
```

## Syntax Description

<table><thead><tr><th width="203">Keyword</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><code>no</code></td><td>(Optional) Reset the command to its default value.</td></tr><tr><td><code>off</code></td><td>An AAAA record will not be created in DDNS.</td></tr><tr><td><code>on</code></td><td>An AAAA record will be created in DDNS.</td></tr></tbody></table>

## Defaults

An AAAA record is created in DDNS by default.

## Usage Guidelines

The Island DDNS service creates both A (IPv4) and AAAA (IPv6) DNS records by default. This can cause delayed or broken connectivity when using a port-forward to direct incoming traffic to a device that does not support IPv6.

This command can be used to disable the generation of AAAA DNS records so that clients will attempt to connect using IPv4 only.

This command has no effect unless a DDNS name is defined in the app or using the [ip ddns name](/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/ip-global-context/ip-ddns-name.md) command.

## Examples

```
ip ddns ipv6 off
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.islandrouter.com/island-router-cli-2.3.2/commands/ip-global-context/ip-ddns-ipv6.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
