Usage Guidelines
The ping and ping4 commands are the same.
The ping command is a very common method for troubleshooting the accessibility of devices
A timeout is implemented at the bootloader device prompt, that allows the bootloader to poll the TCP stack
every 200 ms. As a result, the bootloader may take up to 200 ms to respond to pings. However, when the
bootloader is downloading a file, and thus actively polling for new packets, it responds to ping quickly.
Examples The following is sample output from the ping command:
Device: ping 10.29.27.5
Ping 10.29.27.5 with 32 bytes of data ...
Host 10.29.27.5 is alive.
The following is sample output from the ping host_ip_address retries command:
Device: ping 10 6.29.27.5 6
