This window allows the following parameters to be configured to ping an IPv6 address.
Parameter Description
Target IPv6
Address
Enter an IPv6 address to be pinged.
Interface
The Interface field is used for addresses on the link-local network. It is recommended that the
user enter the specific interface for a link-local IPv6 address. For global IPv6 addresses, this field
may be omitted.
Repeat Times
Enter the number of times desired to attempt to ping the IPv6 address configured in this window.
Users may enter a number of times between 1and 255.
Size
Use this field to set the datagram size of the packet, or in essence, the number of bytes in each
ping packet. Users may set a size between 1 and 6000 bytes. The default setting is 100 bytes.
Timeout
Select a timeout period between 1 and 99 seconds for this Ping message to reach its destination.
If the packet fails to find the IPv6 address in this specified time, the Ping packet will be dropped.
Source IPv6
Address
Tick the check box and enter the source IPv6 address of the ping packets. If specified, the IPv6
address will be used as the packets’ source IPv6 address that ping6 sends to the remote host.
