hostname
where:
You can specify
hostname
as is either the IPX address of the NetWare workstation or the
advertised name of a server. The IPX address consists of the IPX network and node numbers
for a station. For example:
ascend% ipxping CFFF1234:000000000001
If you are using the IPXping command to verify connectivity with an advertised NetWare
server, you can simply enter the symbolic name of the server. For example:
ascend% ipxping server-1
You can terminate the IPXping command at any time by pressing Ctrl-C.
During the IPXping exchange, the MAX calculates and reports the following statistics:
PING server-1 (EE000001:000000000001): 12 data bytes
52 bytes from (EE000001:000000000001): ping_id=0 time=0ms
52 bytes from (EE000001:000000000001): ping_id=1 time=0ms
52 bytes from (EE000001:000000000001): ping_id=2 time=0ms

--- novl1 Ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/MAX = 0/0/0 ms
These statistics include the following information:
•
The IPX address of the source and destination nodes.
•
The byte counts of the request and response packets.
•
The ping ID of the command (the ping Request # replied to by target host).
•
The number of milliseconds required to send the IPXping and receive a response.
•
The number of packets transmitted and received.
•
Duplicate or damaged packets, if applicable.
•
Average round-trip times for the ping request and reply. In some cases, round-trip times
cannot be calculated.
To display statistics related to the IPXping command, enter the Show Netware Pings com-
mand. For example:
Option
Description
hostname
Specifies the IPX address of the host, or if the host is a NetWare
server, its advertised name.
-c
count
Stops the test after sending and receiving the number of packets speci-
fied by
count
.
-i
delay
Waits the number of seconds specified by
delay
before sending the
next packet. The default is for one second.
-r
VRoutername
Checks a supported VRouter’s connectivity with another IPX host.
-s
packet-size
Sends the number of data bytes specified by
packet-size
.
