This command pings an administered node. Look the " node-name " up with the
display node-names command).
ping board
The board qualifier specifies which C-LAN circuit pack from which to ping. By
adding the board UUCSS qualifier to the command, you can also specify which
C-LAN circuit pack (in the case of multiple C-LAN circuit packs). If only one
C-LAN or IP Medpro board circuit pack is present, the board qualifier is optional.
However, if the "board" option is not given, it will default to the first C-LAN in the
same region as the IP address that is being "pinged."
ping packet-length
The packet-length qualifier specifies the packet length of the ping packet.
Packet lengths of from 64 to 1500 bytes can be specified. The packet-length
qualifier is optional, and if not used, the default packet length is 64 bytes.
Specifying a longer packet length in the command line can show:
if a router or host has a problem fragmenting or reassembling transferred
packets
a more complete indication of the link status
