Brocade FastIron Ethernet Switch Layer 3 Routing Configuration Guide - Manual (Page 178)

To establish a Telnet connection to a remote host with the IPv6 address of 2001:DB8:3de2:c37::6,
enter the following command.
device#telnet 2001:DB8:3de2:c37::6
Syntax: telnet ipv6-address [ port-number | outgoing-interface ethernet port | ve number ]
The ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of a remote host. You must specify this address in
hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
The port-number parameter specifies the port number on which the Brocade device establishes the
Telnet connection. You can specify a value between 1 - 65535. If you do not specify a port number,
the Brocade device establishes the Telnet connection on port 23.
If the IPv6 address you specify is a link-local address, you must specify the outgoing-interface
ethernet port | ve number parameter. This parameter identifies the interface that must be used to
reach the remote host. If you specify an Ethernet interface, you must also specify the port number
associated with the interface. If you specify a VE interface, also specify the VE number.
Establishing a Telnet session from an IPv6 host
To establish a Telnet session from an IPv6 host to the Brocade device, open your Telnet application
and specify the IPv6 address of the Layer 3 Switch.
IPv6 traceroute
NOTE
This section describes the IPv6traceroute command. For details about IPv4 traceroute , refer to
FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide .
The traceroute command allows you to trace a path from the Brocade device to an IPv6 host.
The CLI displays trace route information for each hop as soon as the information is received.
Traceroute requests display all responses to a minimum TTL of 1 second and a maximum TTL of 30
seconds. In addition, if there are multiple equal-cost routes to the destination, the Brocade device
displays up to three responses.
For example, to trace the path from the Brocade device to a host with an IPv6 address of
2001:DB8:349e:a384::34, enter the following command:
device#traceroute ipv6 2001:DB8:349e:a384::34
Syntax: traceroute ipv6 ipv6-address
The ipv6-address parameter specifies the address of a host. You must specify this address in
hexadecimal using 16-bit values between colons as documented in RFC 2373.
Configuring name-to-IPv6 address resolution using IPv6 DNS resolver
The Domain Name Server (DNS) resolver feature lets you use a host name to perform Telnet and ping
commands. You can also define a DNS domain on a Brocade device and thereby recognize all hosts
within that domain. After you define a domain name, the Brocade device automatically appends the
appropriate domain to the host and forwards it to the domain name server.
For example, if the domain "newyork.com" is defined on a Brocade device, and you want to initiate a
ping to host "NYC01" on that domain, you need to reference only the host name in the command
