The ipxping command directs the device to send a ping request over IPX to an IPX address. This command is compatible with the Cisco IPX ping and it is often used to determine if a remote device is reachable.
ipxping destination_address [count count] [timeout timeout] [datalength data_length] [spray]
destination_address | This required parameter is used to indicate the remote device being pinged. The address is specified as a hexadecimal network number and node number separated by dots (e.g., A011.0.0.A5.0.0.1 indicates a node with the hexadecimal network number of A011 and a node address of 0.0.A5.0.0.1). |
count count | This optional keyword specifies the number of ipxping requests to be sent. The default is 1. |
timeout timeout | This optional keyword specifies how long to wait in seconds for a reply from the remote device before timing out the request. The default is 2 seconds. |
datalength data_length | This optional keyword specifies the data length of a packet. The default is 64 bytes. |
spray | This optional keyword directs the ipxping command to output packets as fast as they come back or one every timeout period, whichever is first. For every ipxping request sent a "." is printed, and for every ipxping reply received it is erased. |
When using the ipxping command to isolate network faults, devices that are nearer should be pinged first. Then, nodes successively further away should be probed. Round-trip times and packet loss statistics are computed. Duplicate and corrupted packets received from the remote node are flagged. Lost packets are flagged as timed out.
When the specified number of packets have been sent (and received), a brief summary is displayed. The command can also be terminated with a <CTRL-C>.
This command is intended to be used for network testing. Because of the network load imposed by the spray option, it is unwise to use ipxping during normal operation.

Note If more processing is enabled, output will stop when a screenful of data has been output. If a lot of output is expected, more processing can be disabled using the set terminal nomore command. |
