Don’t know what the IP address of your target on the same network is? DHCP broken? Broken static IPv4 configuration?
ping ff02::1%eth0
(On macOS: ping6 ff02::1%en0)
(On systemd/Linux: ping ff02% enp1s0f1np0s0)
This pings all IPv6 nodes on the local broadcast domain. Works even if your ISP doesn’t support IPv6.
Want to use the link local v6 address but your software doesn’t support the % notation? Use socat!
