ping

Use the ping command to send ICMP echo-request packets to another node on the network.

ping [-s] host [packet_size] [packet_count]

Syntax Description

-s

(Optional) Keyword to cause ping to send one datagram per second, printing one line of output for every response received. The ping command returns output only when a response is received.

host

IP address or IP alias of the host.

packet_size

(Optional) Number of bytes in a packet, from 56 to 1472 bytes. The default is 56 bytes; the actual packet size will be 8 bytes larger than the size specified because the switch adds header information.

packet_count

(Optional) Number of packets to send.

Default

This command has no default setting.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Normal.

Usage Guidelines

Press Ctrl-C to stop pinging.

Following are sample results of the ping command:

Examples

This example shows how to ping a host with IP alias elvis a single time:

Console> ping elvis
elvis is alive
Console> 
 

This example shows how to ping a host with IP alias elvis once per second until you press Ctrl-C to stop pinging:

Console> ping -s elvis
ping elvis: 56 data bytes
64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=0. time=11 ms
64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=1. time=8 ms
64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=2. time=8 ms
64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=3. time=7 ms
64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=4. time=11 ms
64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=5. time=7 ms
64 bytes from elvis: icmp_seq=6. time=7 ms

pwd [[m/]device:]

Syntax Description

m/

(Optional) Module number of the supervisor engine containing the Flash device.

device:

(Optional) Device where the Flash resides.

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guideline

quit

Use the quit command to exit a CLI session.

quit

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

This command has no default setting.

Command Type

Usage Guideline

The exit and logout commands perform the same function as the quit command.

Example

This example shows how to quit a CLI session:

reconfirm vmps

Use the reconfirm vmps command to reconfirm the current dynamic port VLAN membership with VMPS.

reconfirm vmps

Syntax Description

This command has no arguments or keywords.

Default

This command has no default setting.

Command Type

Switch command.

Command Mode

Privileged.

Usage Guideline

VMPS database changes are not conveyed automatically to dynamic port entities; therefore, after making a VMPS database change, you can use this command to apply the change to the dynamic port entity on a device.

Example

This example shows how to reconfirm the current dynamic port VLAN membership with VMPS:

Console> (enable) reconfirm vmps
reconfirm process started
Use 'show dvlan statistics' to see reconfirm status
Console> (enable)
Related Command

show vmps

repeat

Use the repeat command to repeat a command.

repeat [num | string]

Syntax Description

number

(Optional) Number of the command.

string

(Optional) Command string.

Default

If no argument is specified, the last command is repeated.

Command Type

ROM monitor command.

Command Mode

Normal.

Usage Guidelines

The optional command number (from the history buffer list) or match string specifies which command to repeat.

In the match string, the most recent command to begin with the specified string is executed again.

If the string contains white space, you must use quotation marks.

This command is usually aliased to the letter "r."

Examples

These examples show how to use the repeat command. You use the history command to display the list of previously entered commands:

rommon 22 > history
 
8   dir 
9   dir bootflash:
10   dis
11   dis 0xa0001000
