Run the ping command to test the IPv6 connection. To obtain IPv6 configurations for the computer, open a command prompt and enter netsh interface ipv6 show interfaceInterfaceName, where InterfaceName is the name of the interface on the computer. For example, if you have an interface named "Local Area Connection", Type netsh interface ipv6 show interface "Local Area Connection". If IPv6 is not installed, see related topics ". Run one of the following commands to ping another IPv6 node: ping the local link address of another node on your link (also known as subnet: ping Address % ZoneID where Address is the local link Address of other nodes, and ZoneID is the interface index of the interface from which the ping data packet is sent. You can obtain the interface index from the display result of the netsh interface ipv6 show interface command. If the ping command fails, verify the local link address and domain ID of other nodes. Ping the local site Address of another node: ping Address % ZoneID where Address is the local site Address of another node, zoneID is the site ID (the domain ID of the site) displayed by the netsh interface ipv6 show interface level = verbose command ). If the site ID is not used or there is only one site, the % ZoneID section of the command is not required. If the ping command fails, verify the local site address and domain ID of other nodes. Ping the global Address of another node: pingAddress where Address is the global Address of another node. If the ping command fails, verify the Global Address of other nodes. Ping another node by Name: ping-6 Name where Name can be obtained through a project in the local Hosts file or through your "Domain Name System (DNS) the AAAA resource record in the structure is resolved to the IPv6 address name. When you use a name instead of an IPv6 address to identify the target host, the-6 parameter must be included to ensure that the IPv6 address is used. If the ping command fails, verify that the name can be resolved to an IPv6 address.
