Pinging an IP device

You can ping a device to test the connection between a switch and another network device. After
you ping a device, the switch sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) packet to the
target device. If the device receives the packet, it sends a ping reply. After the switch receives the
reply, a message appears that indicates traffic can reach the specified IP address. If the switch does
not receive a reply, the message indicates the address does not respond.
Before you begin
The local IP address must be configured before issuing the ping command.
Procedure
1. Log on to ACLI to enter User EXEC mode.
2. At the command prompt, enter the following command:
ping <IP_address>
where <IP_address> is an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
Example
The following figure shows a sample ping response.
Switch>ping 120.16.125.10
