IPv6 management (IPv6 host support)
This command uploads the primary boot image named primary.img from a TFTP server with the
IPv6 address of 2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 to the device primary storage location in flash memory.
Syntax: ncopy tftp <ipv6-address> <source-file-name>flash primary | secondary
• The tftp <ipv6-address> parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server. You must specify
this address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
• The <source-file-name> parameter specifies the name of the file you want to copy from the
TFTP server.
• The primary keyword specifies the primary location in flash memory, while the secondary
keyword specifies the secondary location in flash memory.
Uploading a running or startup configuration from an IPv6 TFTP server
For example to upload a running or startup configuration from an IPv6 TFTP server to a device,
enter a command such as the following.
TurboIron#ncopy tftp 2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 newrun.cfg running-config
This command uploads a file named newrun.cfg from a TFTP server with the IPv6 address of
2001:DB8:e0ff:7837::3 to the device.
Syntax: ncopy tftp<ipv6-address> <source-file-name> running-config | startup-config
• The tftp <ipv6-address> parameter specifies the address of the TFTP server. You must specify
this address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
• The <source-file-name> parameter specifies the name of the file you want to copy from the
TFTP server.
• Specify the running-config keyword to upload the specified file from the IPv6 TFTP server to the
device. The device copies the specified file into the current running configuration but does not
overwrite the current configuration.
Specify the startup-config keyword to upload the specified file from the IPv6 TFTP server to the
device. The the device copies the specified file into the current startup configuration but does not
overwrite the current configuration.
IPv6 ping
The ping command allows you to verify the connectivity from a device to an IPv6 device by
performing an ICMP for IPv6 echo test.
For example, to ping a device with the IPv6 address of 2001:DB8:847f:a385:34dd::45 from the
device, enter the following command.
TurboIron#ping ipv6 2001:DB8:847f:a385:34dd::45
<
Syntax: ping ipv6 <ipv6-address> [ outgoing-interface [ <port> | ve <number> ]] [ source
<ipv6-address> ] [ { count <number> ] [ timeout <milliseconds> ] [ ttl <number> ] [ size
<bytes> ] [ quiet ] [ numeric ] [ verify ] [ data <1-to-4 byte hex> ] [ brief ]
• The <ipv6-address> parameter specifies the address of the router. You must specify this
address in hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
• The outgoing-interface keyword specifies a physical interface over which you can verify
connectivity. If you specify a physical interface, such as an Ethernet interface, you must also
specify the port number of the interface. If you specify a virtual interface, such as a VE, you
must specify the number associated with the VE.
