Creating an AAAA Record

An AAAA (quad A address) record maps a domain name to an IPv6 address. To define a specific name-to-address mapping, add an AAAA record to a previously defined authoritative forward-mapping zone. 

To create an AAAA Record, complete the following:

1. From the Cloud Services Portal, click Manage -> DNS -> Zones.
2. Click the DNS view.
3. Click the zone.
4. Click Create -> Record and select AAAA Record from the drop-down list.

5. On the Create AAAA Record page, specify the following:
   

   • Alias: Enter an alias. 
   • Zone: Select an associated zone from the column selector.
   • IP Address: Enter an IPv6 IP address.
   • Description: Enter a descriptive comment about the AAAA Record.
   • Create associated PTR record: Select the check box to create an associated PTR record. 
     • Create AAAA record only if PTR record is successfully created: Select this check box if you want to create an AAAA record only if the PTR record is successfully created. If you select this check box, a AAAA record will not be created if the creation of a PTR record is unsuccessful. 
       
   • TTL: Enter a numeric value and select Hours, Minutes, or Seconds from the drop-down.
   • Disable for DNS Protocol: Click this check box to temporarily disable for DNS Protocol. For more information, see Enabling and Disabling Zones.
   • Tags: Click Add to associate keys with values. Specify the following details:
     • KEY: Enter a meaningful name for the key, such as a location or a department. 
       
     • VALUE: Enter a value for the key such as San Jose (for location), or Accounts (for department).  
   • To remove a tag, select the respective check box and click Remove to delete the associated tag. For more information about tags, see Managing Tags.
