Using the ping and ping ipv6 Commands

Use the ping command to verify the connectivity of a remote host or server by sending echo messages.
The IPv4 syntax for this command is ping host or ping ipv4-address.
switch# ping 198.133.219.25
PING 198.133.219.25 (198.133.219.25) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 198.133.219.25: icmp_seq=1 ttl=245 time=0.856 ms
64 bytes from 198.133.219.25: icmp_seq=2 ttl=245 time=1.02 ms

shellfish# ping ipv6 fe80::205:30ff:fe01:a4fa interface gigabitethernet 1/1
