C H A P T E R 3 Accessing the Switch
Ping
The
ping
command enables you to send Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) echo messages to a remote IP device. The
ping
command is available for both the user and administrator privilege
level.
The
ping
command syntax is
ping {continuous} {size <n>} [<ip_address> |
<hostname>]
Options for the ping command are described in Table 18.
If a
ping
request fails, the switch continues to send
ping
messages
until interrupted. Press any key to interrupt a
ping
request.
Traceroute
The
traceroute
command enables you to trace the routed path
between the switch and a destination endstation. The

where:
•
ip_address
is the IP address of the destination endstation.
•
hostname
is the hostname of the destination endstation. To use
