7.17.7.3 ping ipv6 interface
This command use 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. You can use a loopback, tunnel, or
logical interface as the source. Use the optional size keyword to specify the size of the ping packet.
Syntax
ping ipv6 interface {<slot/port> | serviceport | switchport | tunnel <tunnel-id>} | loopback <loopback-id>}
{<link-local-address>} [size <datagram-size>]
<slot/port> - Specify the interface.
<tunnel-id > - Specify the Tunnel ID. Range 0 -7.
<loopback-id > - Specify loopback Interface ID. Range 0 -7.
<link-local-address> - Specify link-local address.
<ipv6-address> - Specify the IPv6 address of the device.
<datagram-size> - Datagram size. Range 48 - 2048.

7.17.8 traceroute
7.17.8.1 traceroute
Use the traceroute command to discover the routes that packets actually take when traveling to their
destination through the network on a hop-by-hop basis. Traceroute continues to provide a synchronous
response when initiated from the CLI.
Syntax
traceroute <ipaddr|hostname> [initTtl <initTtl>] [maxTtl <maxTtl>]
[interval <interval>] [count <count>]
<ipaddr|hostname> - The IP address or destination host you want to trace.
<initTtl> - The Use initTtl to specify the initial time-to-live (TTL), the maximum number of router hops
between the local and remote system. Range is 1 to 255.
