ping6

Send ICMP ECHO_REQUEST packets to network hosts via IPv6 address.

• Ping a host:

ping6 {{host}}

• Ping a host only a specific number of times:

ping6 -c {{count}} {{host}}

• Ping a host, specifying the interval in seconds between requests (default is 1 second):

ping6 -i {{seconds}} {{host}}

• Ping a host without trying to lookup symbolic names for addresses:

ping6 -n {{host}}

• Ping a host and ring the bell when a packet is received (if your terminal supports it):

ping6 -a {{host}}
