IPv6 Interface

Command Mode
Privileged Exec
Command Usage
◆ Use the ping6 command to see if another site on the network can be reached,
or to evaluate delays over the path.
◆ The same link-local address may be used by different interfaces/nodes in
different zones (RFC 4007). Therefore, when specifying a link-local address,
include zone-id information indicating the VLAN identifier after the % delimiter.
For example, FE80::7272%1 identifies VLAN 1 as the interface from which the
ping is sent.
◆ When pinging a host name, be sure the DNS server has been enabled (see
page 725). If necessary, local devices can also be specified in the DNS static host
table (see page 726).
◆ When using ping6 with a host name, the router first attempts to resolve the
alias into an IPv6 address before trying to resolve it into an IPv4 address.

Syntax
traceroute6 {ipv6-address | host-name} [max-failures max-failures]
ipv6-address - The IPv6 address of a neighbor device. You can specify either
a link-local or global unicast address formatted according to RFC 2373 “IPv6
Addressing Architecture,” using 8 colon-separated 16-bit hexadecimal
values. One double colon may be used in the address to indicate the
appropriate number of zeros required to fill the undefined fields.
host-name - A host name string which can be resolved into an IPv6 address
through a domain name server.
