IPv6 Commands
OmniSwitch 6250 CLI Reference Guide November 2009 page 30-21
ping6
Tests whether an IPv6 destination can be reached from the local switch. This command sends an ICMPv6
echo request to a destination and then waits for a reply. To ping a destination, enter the ping6 command
and enter either the destination’s IPv6 address or hostname. The switch will ping the destination using the
default frame count, packet size, and interval (6 frames, 64 bytes, and 1 second respectively). You can also
customize any or all of these parameters as described below.
ping6 {ipv6_address | hostname} [if_name] [count count] [size data_size] [interval seconds]
Syntax Definitions
ipv6_address IP address of the system to ping.
hostname DNS name of the system to ping.
if_name If the target is a link-local address, the name of the interface used to
reach it.
count Number of packets to be transmitted.
size Size of the data portion of the packet sent for this ping, in bytes.
seconds Interval, in seconds, at which ping packets are transmitted.

Usage Guidelines
• If you change the default values, they will only apply to the current ping. The next time you use the
ping command, the default values will be used unless you again enter different values.
• When the next hop address is a local link address, the name of the interface used to reach the destina-
tion must be specified.
