Tools : choose to ping IPv4 or IPv6

[macjl]

Hello,

With the ping tool, I didn’t found a way to choose to ping a hostname with IPv4 or IPv6 protocol. It always seems to choose the IPv4, if the A record exists.

I also searched in mashREPL, and there is no ‘ping6’ command.

Could you add a way to force the protocol to use ?

Bonjour Jean-Laurent 👋

No problem I will add the ability to choose between IPv4 and IPv6 DNS records in the user interface.
Regarding mashREPL I will try to import ping6 command.

I will start by the UI and will come back to you as soon as possible : #1200

@macjl Do you have some time to beta test the latest release?

Bonjour ;)

It doesn't look like an IPv4 !

It does! :) It’s NAT64, your 5G connection does not provide you an IPv4 link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NAT64 You can use a dual IPv6/IPv4 link to ping a true real IPv4.

You’re right !
Tested it at home, and everything works as expected.
Thank you.
