Virtual Platforms: CX9000, VX9000

Syntax

ping6 <IPv6/HOSTNAME> {<INTF-NAME>} {(count <1-10000>|size <1-64000>)}

Parameters

ping6 <IPv6/HOSTNAME> {<INTF-NAME>} {(count <1-10000>|size <1-64000>)}


<IPv6/HOSTNAME>	Specify the destination IPv6 address or hostname.
<INTF-NAME>	Specify the interface name for link local/broadcast address
count <1-10000>	Optional. Sets the pings to the specified IPv6 destination <1-10000> – Specify a value from 1 - 10000. The default is 5.
size <1-64000>	Optional. Sets the IPv6 ping payload size in bytes <1-64000> – Specify the ping payload size from 1 - 64000. The default is 100 bytes.

Usage Guidelines

To configure a device‘s IPv6 address, in the VLAN interface configuration mode, use the ipv6 > address <IPv6-ADDRESS> command. After configuring the IPv6 address, use the ipv6 > enable command to enable IPv6. For more information, see ipv6 (profile config mode).
