Hello,
Am running Self_Test 4-0-5, and have a question with:
Section 4: RFC 1981 - Path MTU Discovery for IPv6
Test Case 15: Multicast Destination - One Router
As part of executing the test case, I am being prompted to issue a ping
command:
ping6> Press enter key, and excute the following commands within 5 seconds.
ping6> Do ``ping6 DataSize= 1452, Send Count= 1, Interface= lnc0,
Destination= FF1E::1:2''
After pressing ENTER, attempts to execute this command from the test
node result in an error:
# ping6 -s 1452 -c 1 -I lnc0 FF1E::1:2
ping6: lnc0: invalid interface name
Have also tried an alternate execution of the command, substituting
"lnc0" with "fxp1" (the physical interface for that link), but as "fxp1"
has IPv6 disabled (per the v6eval instructions), that attempt fails also.
# ping6 -s 1452 -c 1 -I lnc0 fxp1::1:2
ping6: hostname nor servname provided, or not known
# ifconfig fxp1
fxp1: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether 00:06:5b:39:75:0b
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX)
status: active
Do I need to configure "lnc0" to support multicast?
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance, -Brett
