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----

octane2#host -t aaaa google.com

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
