ping ipv6 interface
Use this command to determine whether another computer is on the network. To use the command,
configure the switch for network (in-band) connection. The source and target devices must have the
ping utility enabled and running on top of TCP/IP. The switch can be pinged from any IP workstation
with which the switch is connected through the default VLAN (VLAN 1), as long as there is a physical
path between the switch and the workstation. The terminal interface sends three pings to the target
station. Use the interface keyword to ping an interface by using the link-local address or the global
IPv6 address of the interface. You can use a loopback, network port, serviceport, tunnel, or physical
interface as the source. Use the optional size keyword to specify the size of the ping packet. The ipv6-
address is the link local IPv6 address of the device you want to query. Use the outgoing-interface
option to specify the outgoing interface for a multicast IP/IPv6 ping.
Format ping ipv6 interface {unit/slot/port | loopback loopback-id |
network |serviceport |tunnel tunnel-id} {link-local-address
link-local-address | ipv6-address} [size datagram-size]
[outgoing-interface {unit/slot/port | vlan 1-4093 |
serviceport | network}]

Keyword Description
size Use the optional size keyword to specify the size of the ping packet.
ipv6-address
The link local IPv6 address of the device you want to query.
Loopback Interface Commands
The commands in this section describe how to create, delete, and manage loopback interfaces. A
loopback interface is always expected to be up. This interface can provide the source address for sent
packets and can receive both local and remote packets. The loopback interface is typically used by
routing protocols.
To assign an IP address to the loopback interface, see ip address on page 506.
interface loopback
Use this command to enter the Interface Config mode for a loopback interface. The range of the
loopback ID is 0 to 7.
Format
interface loopback loopback-id
Mode Global Config
no interface loopback
This command removes the loopback interface and associated configuration parameters for the
specified loopback interface.
