4.15.2 IPv6 Ping
This page allows you to issue ICMPv6 PING packets to troubleshoot IPv6 connectivity issues.
After you press “Start”, 5 ICMPv6 packets are transmitted, and the sequence number and roundtrip time are
displayed upon reception of a reply. The page refreshes automatically until responses to all packets are received,
or until a timeout occurs. The ICMPv6 Ping screen in Figure 4-15-2 appears.

The page includes the following fields:
Object Description
• IP Address
The destination IP Address.
• Ping Length
The payload size of the ICMP packet. Values range from 2 bytes to 1452
bytes.
• Egress Interface
The VLAN ID (VID) of the specific egress IPv6 interface which ICMP
packet goes. The given VID ranges from 1 to 4094 and will be effective
only when the corresponding IPv6 interface is valid. When the egress
interface is not given, PING6 finds the best match interface for
destination.
Do not specify egress interface for loopback address.
Do specify egress interface for link-local or multicast address.
