Ping IPv6
Use the Ping IPv6 screen to send a Ping request to a specified host name or IPv6 address.
You can use this to check whether the switch can communicate with a particular IPv6 station.
When you click the Apply button, the switch will send three pings and the results will be
displayed below the configurable data.
To send a ping to an IPv6 address:
1. Select Maintenance Troubleshooting Ping IPv6.
2. In the Ping field, select either Global or Link Global to select either the global IPv6
Address/Hostname or Link Local Address to ping.
3. Configure the following settings:
•In the IPv6 Address/Host Name field, enter the IPv6 address or Hostname of the station
you want the switch to ping. The initial value is blank. The IPv6 Address or Hostname you
enter is not retained across a power cycle.
•In the Datagram Size. Enter the datagram size. The valid range is 48–2048.
•The Result field displays the result after the switch sends a Ping IPv6 request to the
specified IPv6 address.
4. Click Apply to send the ping.
The switch sends the number of pings specified in the Count field, and the results are
displayed below the configurable data in the Result area:
•If successful, the output will be “Send count=3, Receive count = n from (IPv6
Address).Average round trip time = n ms”.
•If a reply to the ping is not received, the following displays: “Reply From IP/Host:
Destination Unreachable. Tx = x, Rx = 0 Min/Max/Avg RTT = 0/0/0 msec”.
