7
host: Specifies the IPv6 address or host name of the destination. The host name is a
case-insensitive string of 1 to 253 characters. It can contain letters, digits, and special characters
such as hyphen (-), underscore (_), and dot (.).
Usage guidelines
To ping a device identified by its host name, configure the DNS settings on the device first. If the DNS
settings are not configured, the ping ipv6 operation fails.
To abort the ping ipv6 operation during the execution of the command, press Ctrl+C.
Examples
# Test whether the IPv6 address (2001::2) is reachable.
<Sysname> ping ipv6 2001::2
Ping6(56 data bytes) 2001::1 --> 2001::2, press CTRL_C to break

The output shows that:
• The destination is reachable, and ICMPv6 echo requests are replied.
• The minimum/average/maximum/standard deviation roundtrip time of packets is 4 milliseconds,
25 milliseconds, 62 milliseconds, and 20 milliseconds.
