ipv6 works, but how can I enable resolving of ipv6 addresses?

Code:

  octane2#ping -c 5 google.com
  
  PING google.com (173.194.69.101): 56 data bytes
  
  64 bytes from 173.194.69.101: icmp_seq=0 ttl=49 time=41.188 ms
  
  64 bytes from 173.194.69.101: icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=45.635 ms
  
  64 bytes from 173.194.69.101: icmp_seq=2 ttl=49 time=41.290 ms
  
  64 bytes from 173.194.69.101: icmp_seq=3 ttl=49 time=40.357 ms
  
  64 bytes from 173.194.69.101: icmp_seq=4 ttl=49 time=40.853 ms
  
  ----google.com PING Statistics----

  google.com has AAAA address 2a00:1450:4008:c01::8a
  
  octane2#ping -c 5 2a00:1450:4008:c01::8a

  octane2#ping -6 google.com
  
  ping: google.com: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution

Any idea?

Solved: the problem was my /etc/nsswitch.conf:

Code:

ipnodes: files

changed to

Code:

ipnodes: files dns

And now it woks:

Code:

  octane2#ping -c 5 google.com
  
  PING google.com (2a00:1450:4008:c01::8b): 56 data bytes
  
  64 bytes from 2a00:1450:4008:c01::8b: icmp6_seq=0 ttl=55 time=60.025 ms
  
  64 bytes from 2a00:1450:4008:c01::8b: icmp6_seq=1 ttl=55 time=62.313 ms

  64 bytes from 2a00:1450:4008:c01::8b: icmp6_seq=4 ttl=55 time=64.305 ms
