Parameter Description
source
Use the source parameter to specify the source IP/IPv6 address or interface to use
when sending the Echo requests packets.
hostname
Use the hostname parameter to resolve to an IPv4 or IPv6 address. The ipv6
keyword is specified to resolve the hostname to IPv6 address. The IPv4 address is
resolved if no keyword is specified.
ipv6 The optional keyword ipv6 can be used before the ipv6-address or hostname
argument. Using the ipv6 optional keyword before hostname tries to resolve it
directly to the IPv6 address. Also used for pinging a link-local IPv6 address.
interface Use the interface keyword to ping a link-local IPv6 address over an interface.
link-local-address
The link-local IPv6 address to ping over an interface.
outgoing-interface Use the outgoing-interface parameter to specify the outgoing interface for
multicast IP/IPv6 ping.
The following are examples of the CLI command.
