In the Ping field, select either Global or Link Global to select either the global IPv6 Address

In the IPv6 Address/Host Name field, enter the IPv6 address or host name of the 
station you want the switch to ping. The initial value is blank. The IPv6 address or 
host name you enter is not retained across a power cycle. The valid range is 0–160 
characters.
In the Datagram Size field, enter the datagram size. The valid range is 48–2048.
The Result field displays the result after the switch sends a ping IPv6 request to the 
specified IPv6 address.

Click APPLY to send the ping. 
The switch sends the number of pings specified in the Count field, and the results are 
displayed in the Results field. 
If a reply to the ping is received, you see “Send count=3, Receive count = n from 
(IPv6 Address).Average round-trip time = n ms.”
If a reply to the ping is not received, you see “Reply From IP/Host: Destination 
Unreachable. Tx = x, Rx = 0 Min/Max/Avg RTT = 0/0/0 msec”.
