Introduction to IPv6
Diagnostic and Troubleshooting
Diagnostic and Troubleshooting
Software releases K.13.01 and greater include the IPv6 diagnostic and trouble­
shooting features listed in this section.
ICMP Rate-Limiting
Controlling the frequency of ICMPv6 error messages can help to prevent DoS
(Denial- of- Service) attacks. With IPv6 enabled on the switch, you can control
the allowable frequency of these messages with ICMPv6 rate-limiting. Refer
to “ICMP Rate-Limiting” on page 9-2.
Ping6
Implements the Ping protocol for IPv6 destinations, and includes the same
options as are available for IPv4 Ping, including DNS hostnames. Refer to
“Ping for IPv6 (Ping6)” on page 9-4.
Traceroute6
Implements Traceroute for IPv6 destinations, and includes the same options
as are available for the IPv4 Traceroute, including DNS hostnames. Refer to
“Traceroute for IPv6” on page 9-7.
Debug/Syslog Enhancements
Includes new options for IPv6. Refer to “Debug/Syslog for IPv6” on page 9-13.
Domain Name System (DNS) Resolution
This feature enables resolving a host name to an IPv6 address and the reverse,
and takes on added importance over its IPv4 counterpart due to the extended
length of IPv6 addresses. With DNS-compatible commands, CLI command
entry becomes easier for reaching a device whose IPv6 address is configured
with a host name counterpart on a DNS server.
Software release K.13.01 includes the following DNS-compatible commands:
■ ping6
■ traceroute6
