IPv6 Diagnostic and Troubleshooting Introduction Introduction Feature Default CLI ping6 Enabled traceroute6 n/a The IPv6 ICMP feature enables control over the error and informational message rate for IPv6 traffic, which can help mitigate the effects of a Denial­ of-service attack. Ping6 enables verification of access to a specific IPv6 device, and traceroute6 enables tracing the route to an IPv6-enabled device on the network. Ping for IPv6 (Ping6) The Ping6 test is a point-to-point test that accepts an IPv6 address or IPv6 host name to see if an IPv6 switch is communicating properly with another device on the same or another IPv6 network. A ping test checks the path between the switch and another device by sending IP packets (ICMP Echo Requests). To use a ping6 command with an IPv6 host name or fully qualified domain names, refer to "DNS Resolver for IPv6" on page 7-8. You can issue single or multiple ping tests with varying repetitions and timeout periods to wait for a ping reply. Replies to each ping test are displayed on the console screen. To stop a ping test before it finishes, press [Ctrl] [C]. For more information about using a ping test, refer to the "Troubleshooting" appendix in the current Management and Configuration Guide for your switch. 7-2

The IPv6 ICMP feature enables control over the error and informational
message rate for IPv6 traffic, which can help mitigate the effects of a Denial-
of-service attack. Ping6 enables verification of access to a specific IPv6 device,
and traceroute6 enables tracing the route to an IPv6-enabled device on the
network.
Ping for IPv6 (Ping6)
The Ping6 test is a point-to-point test that accepts an IPv6 address or IPv6 host
name to see if an IPv6 switch is communicating properly with another device
on the same or another IPv6 network. A ping test checks the path between the
switch and another device by sending IP packets (ICMP Echo Requests).
To use a
ping6
command with an IPv6 host name or fully qualified domain
names, refer to “DNS Resolver for IPv6” on page 7-8.
You can issue single or multiple ping tests with varying repetitions and timeout
periods to wait for a ping reply.
Replies to each ping test are displayed on the console screen. To stop a ping
test before it finishes, press
[Ctrl] [C]
.
For more information about using a ping test, refer to the “Troubleshooting”
appendix in the current
Management and Configuration Guide
for your
switch.
