ping ipv6
Use ping ipv6 command in Privileged EXEC mode to determine whether
another computer is on the network. To use the command, configure the
switch for network (in-band) connection. The source and target devices must
have the ping utility enabled and running on top of TCP/IP. The switch can
be pinged from any IP workstation with which the switch is connected
through the default VLAN (VLAN 1), as long as there is a physical path
between the switch and the workstation. The terminal interface sends three
pings to the target station.
