%<scope> | Specifies an interface, via which the ping is sent when using a Link-Local address (IPv6 only). |
%%<interface> | This parameter allows to specify a distinct source interface. The parameter must be added behind the ping destination and no space must be entered in between. Example: ping 81.81.81.1%%INTERNET |
