πŸ’– GRCLI-PING β€” the girlies are pinging πŸ’–

okay bestie, so this is grcli-ping, section 1 of the General Commands Manual, and honestly? it's giving "reach out and see who answers." πŸ¦‹


🌸 NAME 🌸

VRF]]
    Send ICMP{v6} echo requests and wait for replies.

no cap, that's the whole vibe. you give it a destination, and optionally you can control how many packets, how fast, out of which interface, with which ident, in which VRF. the rest is just ✨ waiting ✨.


πŸŽ€ OPTIONS πŸŽ€

  • DEST β€” IP{v6} destination address. this is the main character of the command, the one you're reaching out to. πŸ‘‘
  • COUNT β€” number of packets to send. how many "hey bestie" messages you're firing off before you stop. πŸ”₯
  • DELAY β€” delay in ms between icmp6 echo. the pause between each little knock, measured in milliseconds. 🌸
  • IFACE β€” output interface name. which interface your packets leave through, iykyk. 🫢
  • IDENT β€” Icmp ident field (default: random). if you don't pick one, it just picks a random ident for you, periodt. 🎲
