Introduction to IPv6 
Application
IPv6 are supporting more and more applications. Most of IPv6 applications are the 
same as those of IPv4. The applications supported on 3Com Switch 4210 Family 
are:

IPv6 Application 
Configuration
IPv6 Ping
The ping ipv6 command is commonly used for testing the reachability of a host. 
This command sends an ICMPv6 message to the destination host and records the 
time for the response message to be received. For details about the ping 
command, refer to “Basic System Configuration and Debugging” on page 483.
CAUTION: When you use the ping ipv6 command to verify the reachability of the 
destination, you must specify the "-i" keyword if the destination address is a 
link-local address.
IPv6 Traceroute
The traceroute ipv6 command is used to record the route of IPv6 packets from 
source to destination, so as to check whether the link is available and determine 
the point of failure.
