System Maintaining and Debugging
You can use the ping command and the tracert command to verify the current network connectivity,
and use the debug command to enable debugging and thus to diagnose system faults based on the
debugging information.
Ping

Introduction

You can use the ping command to verify whether a device with a specified address is reachable, and to
examine network connectivity.
The ping function is implemented through the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP):
1) The source device sends an ICMP echo request to the destination device.
2) The source device determines whether the destination is reachable based on whether it receives
an ICMP echo reply; if the destination is reachable, the source device determines the link quality
based on the numbers of ICMP echo requests sent and replies received, determines the distance
between the source and destination based on the round trip time of ping packets.

Configuring Ping

Follow the step below to configure the ping function:
To do...
Check
whether a
specified
address in an
IP network is
reachable
Use the command...
ping [ ip ] [ -a source-ip | -c count | -f | -h ttl | -i
interface-type interface-number | -m interval | -n |
-p pad | -q | -r | -s packet-size | -t timeout | -tos tos
