Ping6, Quit, Reboot | HP TippingPoint Next Generation Firewall

ping6

Checks network connectivity by sending a ICMP request to the specified IPv6 destination, and then checking on an echoed response.

Usage

ping6 [-options]hostNameOrAddress Table 2-4 ping6 Options

Option	Description

-c count	Stop after sending count packets.

-I	Specifies the interface; for example eth0.

-i wait	Wait wait seconds between sending each packet. The default is to wait for
	one second between each packet.

-n	Numeric output only. No attempt will be made to lookup symbolic names
	for host addresses.

-q	Quiet output. Nothing is displayed except the summary lines at startup time
	and when finished.

-r	Bypass the normal routing tables and send directly to a host on an
	attached network. If the host is not on a directly-attached network, an error
	is returned. This option can be used to ping a local host through an
	interface that has no route through it.

-s packetsize	Specifies the number of data bytes to be sent. The default is 56, which
	translates into 64 ICMP data bytes when combined with the 8 bytes of
	ICMP header data.

-v	Verbose output.

Closes the session.
