Ping - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6250 Cli Reference Manual

ping

Tests whether an IP destination can be reached from the local switch. This command sends an ICMP echo
request to a destination and then waits for a reply. To ping a destination, enter the ping command and
enter either the destination's IP address or hostname. The switch will ping the destination using the default
frame count, packet size, interval, and timeout parameters (6 frames, 64 bytes, 1 second, and 5 seconds
respectively). You can also customize any or all of these parameters as described below.
ping {ip_address | hostname} [count count] [size packet_size] [interval seconds] [timeout seconds]
