ICMPv6

 is supported on platforms 

c e s

ICMP for IPv6 combines the roles of ICMP, IGMP and ARP in IPv4. Like IPv4, it provides functions for 
reporting delivery and forwarding errors, and provides a simple echo service for troubleshooting. The 
FTOS implementation of ICMPv6 is based on RFC 2463.

Generally, ICMPv6 uses two message types:

•

Error reporting messages indicate when the forwarding or delivery of the packet failed at the 
destination or intermediate node.  These messages include Destination Unreachable, Packet Too Big, 
Time Exceeded and Parameter Problem messages.

•

Informational messages provide diagnostic functions and additional host functions, such as Neighbor 
Discovery and Multicast Listener Discovery.  These messages also include Echo Request and Echo 
Reply messages.  

The FTOS 

 and 

commands extend to support IPv6 addresses. These commands use ICMPv6 

Type-2 messages.
