Using the IPv6 ping command
Uploading a running or startup configuration from an IPv6 TFTP server
For example to upload a running or startup configuration from an IPv6 TFTP server to a device,
enter a command such as the following.
Brocade# ncopy tftp ipv6 2001:db8:e0ff:7837::3 newrun.cfg running-config
This command uploads a file named newrun.cfg from a TFTP server with the IPv6 address of
2001:db8:e0ff:7837::3 to the device.
Syntax: ncopy tftp ipv6 source-file-name running-config | startup-config
The tftp ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server. You must specify this
address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
The source-file-name parameter specifies the name of the file you want to copy from the TFTP
server.
Specify the running-config keyword to upload the specified file from the IPv6 TFTP server to the
device. The device copies the specified file into the current running configuration but does not
overwrite the current configuration.
Specify the startup-config keyword to upload the specified file from the IPv6 TFTP server to the
device. The device copies the specified file into the current startup configuration but does not
overwrite the current configuration.
Using the IPv6 ping command
The ping command allows you to verify the connectivity from a device to an IPv6 device by
performing an ICMP for IPv6 echo test.
For example, to ping a device with the IPv6 address of 2001:db8:847f:a385:34dd::45 from the
device, enter the following command.
Brocade# ping ipv6 2001:db8:847f:a385:34dd::45
Syntax: ping ipv6 ipv6-address [outgoing-interface [port | ve number]] [source ipv6-address]
[count number] [timeout milliseconds] [ttl number] [size bytes] [quiet] [numeric]
[no-fragment] [verify] [data 1-to-4 byte hex] [brief]
The ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of the router. You must specify this address in
hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
The outgoing-interface keyword specifies a physical interface over which you can verify connectivity.
If you specify a physical interface, such as an Ethernet interface, you must also specify the port
number of the interface. If you specify a virtual interface, such as a VE, you must specify the
number associated with the VE.
The source ipv6-address parameter specifies an IPv6 address to be used as the origin of the ping
packets.
The count number parameter specifies how many ping packets the router sends. You can specify
from 1 - 4294967296. The default is 1.
The timeout milliseconds parameter specifies how many milliseconds the router waits for a reply
from the pinged device. You can specify a timeout from 1 - 4294967296 milliseconds. The default
is 5000 (5 seconds).
