Ping for IPv6 (Ping6)
Ping for IPv6 (Ping6)
The Ping6 test is a point-to-point test that accepts an IPv6 address or IPv6 host
name to see if an IPv6 switch is communicating properly with another device
on the same or another IPv6 network. A ping test checks the path between the
switch and another device by sending IP packets (ICMP Echo Requests).
To use a
ping6
command with an IPv6 host name or fully qualified domain
names, refer to “DNS Resolver for IPv6” on page 4-8.
You can issue single or multiple ping tests with varying repetitions and timeout
periods to wait for a ping reply.
Replies to each ping test are displayed on the console screen. To stop a ping
test before it finishes, press
[Ctrl] [C]
.
For more information about using a ping test, refer to the “Troubleshooting”
appendix in the current
Management and Configuration Guide
for your
switch.
