Configuring the ICMP echo operation
The ICMP echo operation measures the reachability of a destination device. It has the same function as
the
ping
command, but provides more output information. In addition, if multiple paths exist between the
source and destination devices, you can specify the next hop for the ICMP echo operation.
The ICMP echo operation is not supported in IPv6 networks. To test the reachability of an IPv6 address,
use the
ping ipv6
command. For more information about the command, see
Network Management and
Monitoring Command Reference.
To configure the ICMP echo operation:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view

2.
Create an NQA operation
and enter NQA operation
view.

5.
(Optional.) Specify the
payload size in each ICMP
echo request.
data-size
size
The default setting is 100 bytes.
6.
(Optional.) Specify the string
to be filled in the payload of
each ICMP echo request.
data-fill
string
The default setting is the

7.
(Optional.) Specify the
output interface for ICMP
echo requests.
out interface

By default, the output interface for
ICMP echo requests is not
specified. The NQA client
determines the output interface
based on the routing table lookup.
