ping6: Ping a host, specifying the interval in seconds between requests (default is 1 second).
$ ping6 -i ${seconds} ${host}
try on your machine
The command "ping6 -i ${seconds} ${host}" is used to send ICMPv6 Echo Request messages to a specified host or IP address at a given interval.
- "ping6" is the command-line utility for sending ICMPv6 Echo Request messages to a destination.
- "-i ${seconds}" is an option that specifies the interval between each ping request. "${seconds}" is a placeholder for the desired time in seconds. For example, if you set "-i 5", it will send a ping request every 5 seconds.
- "${host}" is a placeholder for the destination host or IP address you want to ping. You would replace "${host}" with the specific target host or IP address you want to test the connectivity with. For example, "ping6 -i 5 example.com" will send ping requests every 5 seconds to "example.com".
By using this command, you can check the network connectivity and measure the round-trip time (RTT) between your system and the specified host.
