IPv6 Application Configuration
IPv6 Ping
The ping ipv6 command is commonly used for testing the reachability of a host. This command sends
an ICMPv6 message to the destination host and records the time for the response message to be
received. For details about the ping command, refer to System Maintenance and Debugging.
After you execute the ping ipv6 command, you can press Ctrl+C to terminate the ping operation.

IPv6 Traceroute
The traceroute ipv6 command is used to record the route of IPv6 packets from source to destination,
so as to check whether the link is available and determine the point of failure.
