sends three pings to the target station. Use the ipv6-address|hostname parameter to ping an interface by using
the global IPv6 address of the interface. Use the optional size keyword to specify the size of the ping packet.
You can utilize the ping or traceroute facilities over the service/network ports when using an IPv6 global address
ipv6-address|hostname. Any IPv6 global address or gateway assignments to these interfaces will cause IPv6
routes to be installed within the IP stack such that the ping or traceroute request is routed out the
service/network port properly. When referencing an IPv6 link-local address, you must also specify the service or
network port interface by using the serviceport or network parameter.
Format ping ipv6 <ipv6-address | hostname> [count <1-15>] [interval <1-60>] [size <0-13000>] [source {< ip-
address> | <slot/port> | loopback <loopback-id> | serviceport | tunnel <tunnel-id> | vlan <vlan-id>}]
Default The default count is 3.
The default interval is 3 seconds.

5.16.9.3. ping ipv6 interface
This command use to determine whether another computer is on the network. To use the command, configure
the switch for network (in-band) connection. The source and target devices must have the ping utility enabled
and running on top of TCP/IP. The switch can be pinged from any IP workstation with which the switch is
connected through the default VLAN (VLAN 1), as long as there is a physical path between the switch and the
workstation. The terminal interface sends three pings to the target station. Use the interface keyword to ping an
interface by using the link-local address or the global IPv6 address of the interface. You can use a loopback,
network port, serviceport, tunnel, or physical interface as the source. Use the optional size keyword to specify
the size of the ping packet. The ipv6-address is the link local IPv6 address of the device you want to query.
Format ping ipv6 interface {<slot/port> | loopback <loopback-id> | serviceport | tunnel <tunnel-id> | vlan
<vlan-id>} <link-local-address> [count <1-15>] [interval <1-60>] [size <0-13000>] [source {< ip-
address> | <slot/port> | loopback <loopback-id> | serviceport | tunnel <tunnel-id> | vlan <vlan-id>}]
