Hi,

 

Does the ping6 -h option work?  Here's an example of a test I did:

 

 

 

# ping6 -h2 fe80::201:9cff:fe00:477

PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::201:9cff:fe00:477%en0 -->
fe80::201:9cff:fe00:477

16 bytes from fe80::201:9cff:fe00:477%en0, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0 ms

16 bytes from fe80::201:9cff:fe00:477%en0, icmp_seq=1 hlim=64 time=0 ms

16 bytes from fe80::201:9cff:fe00:477%en0, icmp_seq=2 hlim=64 time=0 ms

16 bytes from fe80::201:9cff:fe00:477%en0, icmp_seq=3 hlim=64 time=0 ms

16 bytes from fe80::201:9cff:fe00:477%en0, icmp_seq=4 hlim=64 time=0 ms

16 bytes from fe80::201:9cff:fe00:477%en0, icmp_seq=5 hlim=64 time=0 ms

 

--- fe80::201:9cff:fe00:477 ping6 statistics ---

6 packets transmitted, 6 packets received, 0.0% packet loss

round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms

   variance = 0 ms^2

 

Process 856116 (ping6) terminated SIGINT code=0 by process 856116
value=0.

Should the hlim not =2 instead of =64??

 

Cheers,
