ping

The ping command pings a remote IP address.

Syntax

ping <ip-address> [if-name:vlan] [source-ip]

Arguments

<ip-address> - Enter the IP address of host to ping

<if-name:vlan> - Enter the network interface and vlan that the system must use to send out the ping. The system uses vlan 0 if unspecified. This is an optional argument.

<source-ip> - Enter the source IP address to use. This is an optional argument.

Note:

This command sends ICMP echo messages, and displays:

• minimum round trip time (RTT)
• maximum RTT
• average RTT
• number of packets transmitted
• number of packets received
• percentage of packets lost

  The default ping timeout is 64ms.

Note:

The system does not allow you to ping from a secondary SBC media interface, presenting a warning if you try. This prevents you from creating conflicts in the resolution of your interfaces in neighboring switches.

Mode
