Syntax
ping6
ipv6addr
Parameters
ipv6add
Specifies the IPv6 address of a network device.
Modes
Privileged Exec mode
Description
Use this command to have the switch send ICMP Echo Requests to
network devices with IPv6 addresses. You might use the command to
determine whether there is an active link between the switch and another
network device, such as a RADIUS server or a Telnet client, to
troubleshoot communication problems. You can ping only one device at a
time.
The switch must have an IPv6 management IP address to ping IPv6
network devices.
The device being pinged must be a member of the Default VLAN
and within the same local area network as the switch. The device
must be communicating with the switch through a port that is an
untagged or a tagged member of the Default VLAN.
Example
This command instructs the switch to ping a network device with the IPv6
address 3710:17a9:11::190:a1d4:
ATGS950_28PS# ping6 3710:17a9:11::190:a1d4
The results of the ping are displayed on the screen.
