Ping IPv6

Use the Ping IPv6 page to tell the device to send one or more ping requests to a specified IPv6 host. You
can use the ping request to check whether the device can communicate with a particular host on an IPv6
network. A ping request is an Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) echo request packet. The
information you enter on this page is not saved as part of the device configuration.
To access the Ping IPv6 page, click System > Utilities > Ping IPv6 in the navigation menu.
