icmpV6error - configures the type and code (sub-type) of error message

SYNOPSIS

icmpV6error sub-command options

DESCRIPTION

The icmpV6error command is used to configure the type and code (sub-type) of error message to send.

STANDARD OPTIONS
type

Read-only The type of ICMPv6 message to be sent. The messageType must first be set in the icmpV6 command by calling setType.

code

This parameter configures the code.

For icmpV6DestinationUnreachable code, options are:

Option

Value

Usage

icmpV6NoRouteToDestination

0

(default) there is no route to a destination

icmpV6CommunicationProhibted

1

communication prohibited

icmpV6NotAssigned

2

(not assigned)

icmpV6Addressnreachable

3

address is unreachable

icmpV6PortUnreachable

4

port is unreachable

icmpV6SourceAddressFailed

5

address has failed

icmpV6RejectRuteDestination

6

route destination is rejected

For icmpV6PacketTooBigCodeType, this is always set to 0.

For icmpV6TimeExceeded code, options are:

Option

Value

Usage

icmpV6HopLimitExceeded

0

(default) hop limit was exceeded in transit

icmpV6FragmentReassemblyTimeExceeded

1

fragment reassembly time was exceeded

For icmpV6ParameterProblemCodeType; options are:

Option

Value

Usage

icmpV6ErroneousHeaderField Detected

0

(default) erroneous header field encountered

icmpV6UnrecognizedNextheader Type

1

unrecognized Next Header type encountered

icmpV6UnrecognizedIpV6Option

2

unrecognized ipV6 option encountered

checkSum

Read-only. The 16-bit ICMPv6 checksum. This is the ones complement of the ones complement sum of the whole ICMPv6 message, which starts at the message type field. The 'whole' message includes the IPv6 header and extension header fields.

mtu

Maximum Transmission Unit. Applies to icmpV6PacketTooBigMessage type only. The maximum size of the message that can be sent on this link to the next hop. (default = 0)

pointer

Applies to icmpV6ParameterProblemMessage type only. It identifies the offset (octet) where the error was detected in the packet.

COMMANDS

The icmpV6error command is invoked with the following sub-commands. If no sub-command is specified, returns a list of all sub-commands available.

icmpV6error setDefault

Sets to IxTclHal default values for all configuration options.

EXAMPLES

See example under icmpV6.
