ping
Purpose Used to test the connectivity between network devices.
Syntax
ping [<ipaddr> | <domain_name 255>] {times <value 1-255> | timeout <sec 1-99> |
source_ip <ipaddr>}
Description The ping command sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo messages to a
remote IP address. The remote IP address will then “echo” or return the message. This is
used to confirm connectivity between the switch and the remote device.
Parameters
ipaddr - Specify the IP address of the host.
domain_name - Specify the domain name of the host.
times - The number of individual ICMP echo messages to be sent. A value of 0 will send an
infinite number of ICMP echo messages. The maximum value is 255. The default is 0,
indicating infinity. Press "CTRL+C” to terminate the ping test.
timeout - Specify the time-out period while waiting for a response from the remote device. A
value of 1 to 99 seconds can be specified. The default is 1 second.
source_ip - Specify the source IP address of the ping packets. If specified, , this IP address
will be used as the packets’ source IP address that ping sends to the remote host.
Restrictions None.
Example usage:
To send ICMP echo message to “10.51.17.1” for 4 times:
