Ping6
This page allows you to issue ICMPv6 PING packets to troubleshoot IPv6 connectivity issues.
Figure 23-2: ICMP Ping (IPv6)
Hostname or IP Address
: The address of the destination host, either as a symbolic hostname or an IP Address.
Payload Size
: Set the size of the ICMP data payload in bytes (excluding the size of Ethernet, IP, and ICMP
headers). The default value is 56 bytes. The valid range is 2-1452 bytes.
Payload Data Pattern
: Set the pattern used in the ICMP data payload. The default value is 0. The valid range is
0-255.
Packet Count
: Select the number of PING requests sent. The default value is 5. The valid range is 1-60.
VID for Source Interface
: This field can be used to force the test to use a specific local VLAN interface as the
source interface. Leave this field empty for automatic selection based on routing configuration.
Note
: You may
only specify either the VID or the IP Address for the source interface.
Source Port Number
: This field can be used to force the test to use a specific local interface with the specified
port number as the source interface. The specified port must be configured with a suitable IP address. Leave this
field empty for automatic selection based on routing configuration.
Note
: You may only specify either the
Source Port Number or the IP Address for the source interface.
Address for Source Interface
: This field can be used to force the test to use a specific local interface with the
specified IP address as the source interface. The specified IP address must be configured on a local interface.
Leave this field empty for automatic selection based on routing configuration.
Note
: You may only specify either
the VID or the IP Address for the source interface.
Quiet (only print result)
: Checking this option will not print the result of each ping request but will only show
the final result.
After you press the Start button, ICMP packets are transmitted, and the sequence number and round trip time
are displayed upon reception of a reply.
The amount of data received inside of an IP packet of type ICMP ECHO_REPLY will always be 8 bytes more than
the requested payload data size (the difference is the ICMP header).
The page refreshes automatically until responses to all packets are received, or until a timeout occurs.
