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.
Navigate to Products and click Compute.
Click your target instance to open its management page.
Navigate to the Settings tab.
Click IPv6 on the left navigation menu to view your instance's public IPv6 network information.
Enter your IPv6 address in the IP field and a domain in the Reverse DNS field to enable reverse DNS on your instance.
Send a GET
request to the List Bare Metal Instances endpoint and note the target instance's ID in your output.
$ curl "https://api.vultr.com/v2/bare-metals" \
-X GET \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${VULTR_API_KEY}"
