ProSAFE M7100 Managed Switches
The following is an example of the CLI command output when a ping is successful:
(Netgear Switch) #ping 2001::1
Pinging 2001::1 with 64 bytes of data:
Send count=3, Receive count=3 from 2001::1
Average round trip time = 3.00 ms
The following is an example of the CLI command output when a ping fails because the destination
is unreachable but a valid default router exists:
(Netgear Switch) #ping ipv6 2001::4
Pinging 2001::4 with 64 bytes of data:
Send count=3, Receive count=0 from 2001::4
ping ipv6 interface
Use this command to determine whether a computer with an IPv6 interface is on the network by
using the link-local address of the interface. For the destination, you also need to specify the unit,
slot, and port, or the VLAN ID (in the range 1–4093), or the loopback interface ID, or the tunnel
ID, or the network port interface. Ping provides a synchronous response when initiated from the
CLI and web interfaces.
Using the options described below, you can specify the number and size of echo requests, the
int
er
val between echo requests, and the source.
size Use the size parameter to specify the datagram size, in bytes, of the payload of the echo
requests sent. Range is 0–65,507 bytes.
source Use the source parame
ter to specify the source IPv6 address, interface, VLAN ID, or
network port interface to use when sending the echo requests packets. The range for vlan
is 1–4093.
Defaults • The def
ault count is 1.
• The default interval is 3 seconds.
• The default size is 0 bytes.

Parameter Description
count Use the count parame
ter to specify the number of ping packets (ICMPv6 echo requests)
that are sent to the destination address specified by the link-local-address field. The
range for count is 1–15 requests.
interval Use the interval par
ame
ter to specify the time between echo requests, in seconds. Range
is 1–60 seconds.
