24.6.2 Checking Selection Paths

<Structure of this section>

(1) Checking route information

Execute the show ipv6 route command to see whether the multipath route settings have been applied correctly.

(2) Checking whether communication with the relevant destination address is possible

Use the ping ipv6 <IPv6 Address> specific-route source <Source Address> command at each interface of the Switch used for load balancing to confirm that the interface can communicate with the remote system. As <Source Address> of the ping ipv6 command, specify the local IPv6 address on the Switch of the interface performing load balancing.
