Ping - Avaya S8700 Maintenance Manual

Maintenance Commands

ping

When debugging connectivity problems, a ping only indicates low-level
connectivity. If an external ping works but higher-level applications such as DCS,
CMS, or INTUITY do not, then you can only assume that there is connectivity to
the board. Interrogate the switch for other clues as to why the higher-level
application is not working.
