How to Manage IPv6 on a Vultr Bare Metal Instance

Updated on 23 September, 2024

A public IPv6 network is available and attached to your Vultr Cloud Compute instance after deployment unless disabled by default. You can manage the IPv6 address information on an instance and enable reverse DNS on the public networking interface.

Follow this guide to manage the IPv6 information on a Vultr Bare Metal instance using the Vultr Customer Portal, API, or CLI.

  • Vultr Customer Portal
  • Vultr API
  • Vultr CLI

  1. Navigate to Products and click Compute.

    Vultr Customer Portal

  2. Click your target instance to open its management page.

    View active instance subscriptions

  3. Navigate to the Settings tab.

    Navigate to the Settings Tab

  4. Click IPv6 on the left navigation menu to view your instance's public IPv6 network information.

    Access IPV6 Settings

  5. Enter your IPv6 address in the IP field and a domain in the Reverse DNS field to enable reverse DNS on your instance.

    Setup IPV6 Reverse DNS

  1. Send a GET request to the List Bare Metal Instances endpoint and note the target instance's ID in your output.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/bare-metals" \
  -X GET \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"

  2. Send a GET request to the Bare Metal IPv6 Addresses endpoint to view the instance's IPv6 information.

    console 
    $ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/bare-metals/{baremetal-id}/ipv6" \
  -X GET \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"

  1. List all Bare Metal instances in your Vultr account and note the target instance's ID.

    console 
    $ vultr-cli bare-metal list
