Ping an IPv6 address

You can configure the switch to send a ping request to a specified IPv6 address. You
can use this option to check whether the switch can communicate with a particular IPv6
device. When you send a ping, the switch sends a specified number of ping requests
and the results are displayed.

If a reply to the ping is received, the following message displays:

PING x:y::z:w (x:y::z:w): size data bytes

size bytes from x:y::z:w: seq=0 ttl=xyz

--- x:y::z:w ping statistics ---

If a reply to the ping is not received, the following message displays:
