Supported Applications
The following applications have been enhanced to provide IPv6 support.
•
Ping
The
ping
command supports IPv6 addresses. Use the following format to ping
an IPv6 address:
ping
<host name>
|
<IPv6 address> [
-n
<tries (0-4294967295)> ]
[
-w
<msec delay (0-4294967295)> ] [
-l
<length (0/32-65500/2080)> ]
[
-s
<IP source> ] [
-v
<TOS (0-255)> ] [
-f
] [
-t
]
To ping a link-local address (begins with
FE80
), provide an interface index, as
follows:
ping
<IPv6 address>
%
<Interface index> [
-n
<tries (0-4294967295)> ]
[
-w
<msec delay (0-4294967295)> ] [
-l
<length (0/32-65500/2080)> ]
[
-s
<IP source> ] [
-v
<TOS (0-255)> ] [
-f
] [
-t
]
• Traceroute
The
traceroute
command supports IPv6 addresses (but not link-local
addresses).
Use the following format to perform a traceroute to an IPv6 address:
traceroute
<host name>| <IPv6 address> [< max-hops (1-32)>
[ <msec delay (1-4294967295)> ]]
• Telnet server
The
telnet
command supports IPv6 addresses. Use the following format to
Telnet into an IPv6 interface on the switch:
telnet
<host name>| <IPv6 address> [ <port> ]
• Telnet client
The
telnet
command supports IPv6 addresses, (but not link-local addresses).
Use the following format to Telnet to an IPv6 address:
telnet
<host name>| <IPv6 address> [ <port> ]
• HTTP/HTTPS
The HTTP/HTTPS servers support both IPv4 and IPv6 connections.
• SSH
Secure Shell (SSH) connections over IPv6 are supported. The following syntax
is required from the client:
ssh -u
<IPv6 address>
Example:
ssh -u 2001:2:3:4:0:0:0:142
• TFTP
The TFTP commands support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Link-local
addresses are not supported.
• FTP
The FTP commands support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Link-local
addresses are not supported.
