To add a domain name to use when resolving hostnames	`ip domain-list <domain-name>`	Not Applicable
To add a static IPv4 route	`ip route <network-prefix> [{<netmask>\|<mask-length>} <next hop IP address or interface name>`	<network-prefix> - IP address <netmask> - e.g. 255.255.255.0 <mask-length> - e.g. /24

ip default-gateway 192.168.0.1
bridge br1 enable

Enable IPv6 autoconfig (SLAAC) on interface eth1
```
interface eth1 ipv6 address autoconfig
```
Configure a DNS server
```
ip name-server 192.168.0.1
```

To configure interface specific settings (e.g., address or speed/duplex/mtu), use the interface command.
To configure the IPv6 settings, use the ipv6 command.
