Accessing the Switch

{tos <tos>} {interval <interval>} {vr <vrid>} <host> {from <source IP address>} {with
record-route}
Options for the ping command are described in Table 8 .
If a
ping
request fails, the switch stops sending the request after three attempts. Press [Ctrl] + C to
interrupt a
ping
request earlier. The statistics are tabulated after the ping is interrupted or stops.
Traceroute
The
traceroute
command enables you to trace the routed path between the switch and a destination
endstation. The
traceroute
command syntax is:
traceroute {vr <vrid>} <host> {from <source IP address>} {ttl <number>} {port <port> |
icmp}
where:
●
vr
is the name of the virtual router (the Aspen 8810 switch does not support user-created VRs).
●
from source IP address
uses the specified source address in the ICMP packet. If not specified,
the address of the transmitting interface is used.
●
host
is the hostname of the destination endstation. To use the hostname, you must first configure
DNS.
●
ttl
configures the switch to trace the hops until the time-to-live has been exceeded for the switch.
●
port
uses the specified UDP port number.
●
icmp
uses ICMP echo messages to trace the routed path.
Table 8: Ping command parameters
Parameter Description
count Specifies the number of ping requests to send.
start-size Specifies the size, in bytes, of the packet to be sent, or the starting size if
incremental packets are to be sent.
continuous Specifies that UDP or ICMP echo messages to be sent continuously. This option can
be interrupted by pressing [Ctrl] + C.
end-size Specifies an end size for packets to be sent.
udp Specifies that the ping request should use UDP instead of ICMP.
dont-fragment Sets the IP to not fragment the bit.
ttl Sets the TTL value.
tos Sets the TOS value.
interval Sets the time interval between sending out ping requests.
vr Specifies the virtual router name to use for sending out the echo message. If not
specified, VR-Default is used.
NOTE: The Aspen 8810 switch does not support user-created VRs.
host Specifies a IPv4 host to ping.
from Uses the specified source address. If not specified, the address of the transmitting
interface is used.
with record-route Sets the traceroute information.
