Parameters
-a source-ipv6: Specifies an IPv6 address of the device as the source IP address of ICMP echo
requests. If this option is not specified, the source IPv6 address of ICMP echo requests is the IPv6
address of the outbound interface. See RFC 3484 for information about the address selection rule.
-c count: Specifies the number of ICMPv6 echo requests that are sent to the destination. The value
range is 1 to 4294967295, and the default is 5.
-i interface-type interface-number: Specifies the source interface for ICMPv6 echo requests. This
option must be specified when the destination address is a multicast address or a link local address.
If you do not specify this option, the system uses the primary IP address of the matching route's
egress interface as the source interface for ICMPv6 echo requests.
-m interval: Specifies the interval (in milliseconds) to send an ICMPv6 echo reply. The value range is
1 to 65535, and the default is 1000.
-q: Displays only the summary statistics. If you do not specify this keyword, the system displays all
the ping statistics.
-s packet-size: Specifies the length (in bytes) of ICMPv6 echo requests (excluding the IPv6 packet
header and the ICMPv6 packet header). The value range is 20 to 8100, and the default is 56.
-t timeout: Specifies the timeout time (in milliseconds) of an ICMPv6 echo reply. The value range is 0
to 65535, and the default is 2000.
-tc traffic-class: Specifies the traffic class value in an ICMPv6 packet. The value range is 0 to 255
and the default is 0.
-v: Displays detailed information (including the dst field and the idx field) about ICMPv6 echo replies.
If this keyword is not specified, the system only displays brief information (not including the dst field
and the idx field) about ICMPv6 echo replies.
host: Specifies the IPv6 address or host name of the destination. The host name is a
case-insensitive string of 1 to 253 characters. It can contain letters, digits, and special characters
such as hyphen (-), underscore (_), and dot (.).
Usage guidelines
To ping a device identified by its host name, configure the DNS settings on the device first. If the DNS
settings are not configured, the ping ipv6 operation fails.
To abort the ping ipv6 operation during the execution of the command, press Ctrl+C.
Examples
# Test whether the IPv6 address (2001::2) is reachable.
<Sysname> ping ipv6 2001::2
Ping6(56 data bytes) 2001::1 --> 2001::2, press CTRL_C to break
56 bytes from 2001::2, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=62.000 ms
