Figure 46: Ping Utility
How Many Packets
Enter the number of packets this ping command will send. The default is 5. The values
range from 1 through 99.
Packet Size
Enter the packet size (in bytes) this ping command will send. The default is 56. The values
range from 1 through 9999.
How Many Sec Between Sending Each Packet
Enter how much time (in seconds) ping should wait between sending each packet.
Patterns to Send (Hex)
The data sent by ping contains a hexadecimal pattern. If you leave this option blank, ping
will fill it with random data. This option is useful if you do not have problems with
connectivity itself but with data loss.
Verbosity Output
NSMXpress lists the ICMP packets (other than ECHO_Response) that have been received.
Numeric Output Only
Check this option if you do not want any attempts to be made to look up symbolic names
for host addresses.
Bypass Routing Tables
If the host is not a directly attached network, an error is returned. This option can be used
to ping a local host through an interface that has no route through it.
Traceroute
Traceroute is a tool to print the route a packet takes to a network host. See Figure 47 on
page 46.
