Verification of Host IPv6 Connectivity

This third and final major section of the chapter examines a few commands to verify the settings on hosts. Specifically, this section examines the host’s IPv6 settings, and then looks at the usual commands to test whether a host can send packets: ping and traceroute.

Note that this section lists some commands on different host OSs. As usual, the goal of listing host commands is to give a general idea of the information that can be viewed on a host. However, keep in mind that this and other chapters do not attempt to show each variation of every networking command on every OS; instead, the goal is to reinforce the ideas seen earlier in the chapter.
