Version 6.8 107 Mediant MSBR
Configuration Guide 18. ICMPv6
18 ICMPv6
The following describes the Internet Control Message Protocol Version 6 (ICMPv6)
commands.
18.1 ping ipv6
The ping ipv6 tests IP reachability to a desired destination. If the destination is reachable,
there will be the same amount of echo requests and replies.
Command Structure:
ping ipv6 <IP address / host> [source data vrf/source
address/interface name] [repeat times] [size size] [summarized]
where:
<IP address / host>: Defines the destination IP address or hostname of the node you
wish to ping.
<source>: Defines the vrf/address/interface to use as source for the ICMP requests.
Typically, MSBR chooses the source address/interface; however, specifying one
allows you to simulate testing reachability from a specific connected subnet.
repeat: Defines the number of ICMP requests to send.
size: Defines the size of the of the ICMP packet in bytes.
summarized: Defines the summarized output.
Typical Output:
MSBR# ping ipv6 2000::1
Reply from 2000::1 : time=1 ms
Reply from 2000::1 : time=1 ms
