ICMPv6
ICMPv6 is supported on the Z9000 platform.
ICMP for IPv6 combines the roles of ICMP, IGMP and ARP in IPv4. Like IPv4, it provides functions for reporting delivery
and forwarding errors, and provides a simple echo service for troubleshooting. The FTOS implementation of ICMPv6 is
based on RFC 4443.
Generally, ICMPv6 uses two message types:
• Error reporting messages indicate when the forwarding or delivery of the packet failed at the destination or
intermediate node. These messages include Destination Unreachable, Packet Too Big, Time Exceeded and
Parameter Problem messages.
• Informational messages provide diagnostic functions and additional host functions, such as Neighbor Discovery
and Multicast Listener Discovery. These messages also include Echo Request and Echo Reply messages.
The FTOS ping and traceroute commands extend to support IPv6 addresses. These commands use ICMPv6 Type-2
messages.
