Syntax
ping ipv6 [ -a source-ipv6-address | -c count | -m interval | -s packet-size | -t timeout ]* remote-system
[ -i interface-type interface-number ]
View

Parameters
-a source-ipv6-address: Specifies source IPv6 address.
-c count: Specifies the number of packets sent for requesting ICMPv6 echo, ranging from 1 to
4294967295, with the default of 5.
-m interval: Specifies the time intervals in milliseconds to send packets for ICMPv6 echo, ranging from 1
to 65,535, with the default of 200 milliseconds.
If a response from the destination is received within the timeout time, the interval to send the next
ECHO-REQUEST equals to the actual response period plus the value of interval.
If no response from the destination is received within the timeout time, the interval to send the next
ECHO-REQUEST equals to the timeout value plus the value of interval.
-s packet-size: Specifies the size in bytes of packets sent for requesting ICMPv6 echo, ranging from 20
to 8,100, with the default of 56 bytes.
-t timeout: Specifies the timeout in milliseconds of receiving ICMPv6 echoes, ranging from 0 to 65,535,
with the default of 2,000 milliseconds.
remote-system: IPv6 address or host name (a string a 1 to 46 characters) of the destination device.
-i interface-type interface-number: Specifies the type and number of an outgoing interface. This
argument takes effect only when the destination address is a link-local address and the specified
outgoing interface has a link-local address.
Description
Use the ping ipv6 command to test whether the destination is accessible.
The following information will be output:
A reply to each ICMPv6 echo request. If no ICMPv6 reply is received within the timeout time,
"Request time out" is displayed; otherwise, the number of data bytes of each reply, packet
sequence number, TTL, and round-trip response time are displayed.
Statistics, including the numbers of sent packets, received packets, packet loss percentage, and
the minimum/average/maximum response time.
After you execute the ping ipv6 command, you can press Ctrl+C to terminate the ping operation.
