PING IPv6
Syntax
ping ipv6 < ipv6-address > repeat < 1-99> size < 36-18024>
Parameters
ipv6-address
Indicates the destination IPv6 address. The IPv6 address uses the
format:
nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn:nnnn
Where N is a hexadecimal digit from 0 to F. The eight groups of
digits have to be separated by colons. Groups where all four digits
are ‘0’ can be omitted. Leading ‘0’s in groups can also be omitted.
For example, the following IPv6 addresses are equivalent:
12c4:421e:09a8:0000:0000:0000:00a4:1c50
12c4:421e:09a8::a4:1c50 X:X::X:X
repeat <1-99>
Specifies the number of times the ping is sent. The default is 4
times.
size <36-18024>
Indicates the packet size, in bytes, that are sent to the destination
IPv6 address. The packet size excludes the 8 byte ICMP header.
The default is 56 bytes. The range is 36 to 18,024 bytes.
Mode
User Exec and Privileged Exec modes
