ping

Non-Global Command
This command sends ICMP Echo requests to a specified network device. The ping operation
must complete before another command can be issued to the same Command Line Interface
session. For example, if a very long ping operation (such as a large count <cnt> value) is
executed, it is not possible to stop the operation.
ping Command Format
ping <pHostpHost> [<cnt>] [<sch>] [<len>]
The output of the ping command cannot be customized.
<pHost> The IP address of the remote node to be pinged (send ICMP Echo Request
messages). Enter in standard IP dotted–decimal form.
<cnt> The number of times the ping is to be repeated. Default is 3. Range is 1 through
65535.
<sch> The maximum amount of time to wait for a reply to each ping. The timeout interval
is expressed in 1-second units. Default is 1 second. Range is 0 through 10. If you
enter 0, a timeout value of 1 second is used.
<len> The number of data bytes in the Echo Request message. The actual data pattern
cannot be changed. Default length is 64 bytes. Range is 12 through 4096 but is
limited by system buffer memory.
Examples
