Description

This test case tests the compatibility of various commands with IPv6.

Ensure the iputils, net-tools, bind-utils, iproute, nc packages are installed.

Check if you have received an IPv6 address: ifconfig | grep inet6
with Scope: Global as Scope: Link addresses will not work across a network.
Check if your DNS response to AAAA requests (IPv6 address):
1. Using dig: dig ipv6.DOMAIN.TLD AAAA
2. Using nslookup: nslookup -type=AAAA ipv6.DOMAIN.TLD
Ping a host with IPv6 address: ping6 IPV6_ADDR
Print the route packets trace to an IPv6 network host: traceroute6 IPV6_ADDR
Display IPv6 routes table: ip -6 route or route -A inet6
Use nc (netcat) on IPv6 network:
1. Listen to port 8080 on IPv6 address: nc -l -6 IPV6_ADDR 8080
2. Connect to IPv6 address listening to port 8080: nc -6 IPV6_ADDR 8080
