Destination IP Address
is the network address of the target, or destination, device to which you want to test a
connection with the switch. An IP address is in the X.X.X.X format where X is a decimal number between 0 and
255.
Number of Packets to Send
is the number of times you want the switch to attempt to test a connection.
Timeout in Seconds
is the number of seconds to allow per attempt to test a connection before determining that
the current attempt has failed.
Testing the path between the switch and another device on an IP network
The ping test uses ICMP echo requests and ICMP echo replies to determine if another device is alive. It also
measures the amount of time it takes to receive a reply from the specified destination. The
ping
command has
several extended commands that allow advanced checking of destination availability.
Syntax:
ping {<ip-address | hostname>} [repetitions <1-10000>] [timeout <1-60>] [source <
{ip-address | <vlan-id> | loopback <0-7>>}] [data-size <0-65471>] [data-fill
<0-1024>] [ip-option {<record-route | loose-source-route | strict-source-route |
include-timestamp | include-timestamp-and-address | include timestamp-from} >]
[tos <0-255>]
ping6 {<ipv6-address | hostname>} [repetitions <1-10000>] [timeout <1-60>] [source
< {ip-address | vlan-id | loopback <0-7>>}] [data-size <0-65471>] [data-fill
<0-1024>]
Sends ICMP echo requests to determine if another device is alive.
{< ip-address | hostname
>}
Target IP address or hostname of the destination node being pinged
repetitions <1-10000>
Number of ping packets sent to the destination address.
Default: 1
