ping6

Hi there!
I’m newbie in IPv6, and I want to ping to my loopback address by mean ping6.
But I get:


derqui:~ # ping6 ::1
If 'ping6' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf ping6
derqui:~ # cnf ping6
ping6: command not found

Where is “ping6” command?
How can I know my PC is ready for IPv6?

Thank you in advance.

Hi
If you look at the changelog for iputils…;


ping: merge `ping6` command into `ping`

So use ping with the -6 option.
