• -W timeout — (Optional) Enter the time to wait for a response in seconds. This setting aects the time-out
only if there is no response, otherwise ping waits for two round-trip times (RTTs).
• hop1 ... (Optional) Enter the IPv6 addresses of the pre-specied hops for the ping packet to take.
• destination — Enter the IPv6 destination address in A:B::C:D format, where you are testing connectivity.
Default Not congured
Command Mode EXEC
Usage Information
This command uses an ICMP ECHO_REQUEST datagram to receive an ICMP ECHO_RESPONSE from a network
host or gateway. Each ping packet has an IPv6 and ICMP header, then a time value and a number of ''pad'' bytes
used to ll out the packet. A pingv6 operation sends a packet to a specied IPv6 address and then measures the
time it takes to get a response from the address or device.
When you use the -I option and enter an IP address, OS10 considers it as the source address. If you use an
interface name instead of the IP address, OS10 considers it as the egress interface.
With the -I option, if you ping a reachable IP address using the IP address of a loopback interface as the source
interface, the ping succeeds. However, if you ping a reachable IP address using the name of the loopback interface
as the source interface, the ping fails. This is because the system considers the loopback interface as the egress
interface.
Example
OS10# ping6 20::1

64 bytes from 20::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.07 ms
64 bytes from 20::1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=2.21 ms
64 bytes from 20::1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=2.37 ms
64 bytes from 20::1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=2.10 ms
