Ahem, that works, thanks. It's even written clearly in the manual.
Too bad that I tried using the interface address instead of the
interface name:
# ping6 -I fe80::214:22ff:fe13:e171 fe80::214:22ff:fe13:ed7a
ping: bind icmp socket: Invalid argument
where strace reveals
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMPV6) = 3
bind(3, {sa_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(0), inet_pton(AF_INET6,
"fe80::214:22ff:fe13:e171", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=0, sin6_scope_id=0}, 28)
= -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
Am I using an overly old version of ping6?
# ping6 -V
ping6 utility, iputils-ss020927
