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.

host

IP address or IP alias of the host.

packet_size

(Optional) Number of bytes in a packet, from 56 to 1472 bytes.

packet_count

(Optional) Number of packets to send.

Defaults

The default packet_size is 56 bytes.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Normal.

Usage Guidelines

Press Ctrl-C to stop pinging.

Following are sample results of the ping command:

The actual packet size will be 8 bytes larger than the size you specify because the switch adds header information.

The ping command returns output only when a response is received.

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

Examples

This example shows how to reset module 3 and download the acpflash_1111.bbi file from the mercury host to the module:

Console (enable) reload 3
Console> (enable) download mercury acpflash_1111.bbi 3
This command will reset Module 3.
Download image acpflash_1111.bbi from mercury to Module 3 FLASH (y/n) [n]? y
