Ping for IPv6 (Ping6)
4-4
Syntax: ping6 < ipv6-address | hostname | switch-number >
[repetitions < 1 - 10000 >] [timeout < 1 - 60 >] [data-size < 0 - 65507 >]
[data-fill < 0 - 1024 >] [source < ipv6-addr | vid >] [oobm]
ping6 <link-local-address%vlan<vid> | hostname | switch-number>
[repetitions < 1 - 10000 >] [timeout < 1 - 60 >] [data-size < 0 - 65507 >]
[data-fill < 0 - 1024 >] [source < ipv6-addr | vid >] [oobm]
Pings the specified IPv6 host by sending ICMP version 6
(ICMPv6) echo request packets to the specified host.
<ipv6-address>: IPv6 address of a destination host device.
< link-local-address >%vlan<vlan-id>: IPv6 link-local
address, where %vlan<vlan-id> specifies the VLAN ID
number.
< hostname >: Host name of an IPv6 host device configured
on an IPv6 DNS server.
< switch-number >: Number of an IPv6-based switch that is
a member of a switch stack (IPv6 subnet). Valid values: 1 -
16.
< oobm >: For switches that have a separate out-of-band
management (OOBM) port, oobm specifies that the traffic
originates from the out-of-band management port.
[repetitions < 1 - 10000>]: Number of times that IPv6 ping
packets are sent to the destination IPv6 host. Default: 1.
[timeout < 1 - 60 >]: Number of seconds within which a response
is required from the destination host before the ping test
times out. Valid values: 1 - 60. Default: 1 second.
[data-size <0 - 65471]: Size of data (in bytes) to be sent in ping
packets. Valid values: 0 - 65471. Default: 0.
[data-fill <0 - 1024>]: Text string used as data in ping packets.
Range: up to 1024 alphanumeric characters; Default: 0.
[source < ipv6-addr | vid >]: The IPv6 address of the pinging
device or the VLAN-ID on which the ping is being sent.
Default: 0 (no text is used).
