ping
Purpose
Used to test the connectivity between network devices.
Syntax
ping <ipaddr> {times <value 0-255>} {size <value 1-60000>}
{timeout <sec 1-99>}
Description
The command is used to send 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

messages to be sent. A value of 0 will send an infinite ICMP echo
messages. The maximum value is 255. The default is 0.
size <value 1-60000>
−
The size of the test packet. The value is
between 1 and 60000.
timeout <sec 1-99>
−
Defines 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.
Restrictions
None.
