ping board
The board qualifier specifies which C-LAN circuit pack from which to ping. By

same region as the IP address that is being “pinged.”

The packet-length qualifier specifies the packet length of the ping packet. Packet
lengths of from 64 to 1500 bytes can be specified. The packet-length qualifier is
