Field Description
Ping Select either a global IPv6 address or a link local address to ping. A global address is routable over the
Internet, while a link-local address is intended for communication only within the local network. Link local
addresses have a prefix of fe80::/64.

Size Specify the size of the ping packet to be sent. Changing the size allows you to troubleshoot connectivity
issues with a variety of packet sizes, such as large or very large packets. The range is from 0 to 13000
bytes, and the default is 0 bytes.
