IP Commands

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 IP address or hostname of the destination. The switch pings 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} [source-interface ip_interface] [count count] [size packet_size] [interval
seconds] [timeout seconds] [data-pattern string] [dont-fragment] [tos tos_val]
