User Guidelines
This command has no user guidelines.
Example
The following example determines whether another computer is on the
network at the IPv6 address specified.
console#ping ipv6 2030:1::1/64
Send count=3, Receive count=0 from 2030:1::1/64
Average round trip time = 0.00 ms
ping ipv6 interface
Use ping ipv6 interface command in the 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. Use the interface keyword to
ping an interface by using the link-local address or the global IPv6 address of
the interface. The source can be a loopback, tunnel, or logical interface.
