Supplemental
Information
It sends a series of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo-request packets to determine if a remote host is active or
inactive. It also provides the round-trip delay in communicating with the host.
Note: If you specify the System Control Module’s (SCM’s) IP address with the ‘source-ip A.B.C.D.’ optional parameter, the source IP
address for the ICMP packet will be the SCM’s IP address.
The ping is successful only if the echo request gets to the destination and the destination is able to reply back to the source. Press ^C
(the control key + C combination) to stop the ping process.
