Test Node Accessibility.

To verify that other nodes can be accessed from the router module, use
the NCL Ping command.
Ping command can be used on a router with IP routing enabled to test
whether particular routers and end nodes can be reached. Use the
specific IP address of the target. For example, to determine whether a
WAN port having the IP address of 10.100.100.1 on a remote router can
be reached from the router module, you would execute Ping as follows
from the NCL prompt:
ping 10.100.100.1
When a target is "pinged", the router module waits for a response. In the
above example, if a response was received within the specified time, the
console would display this message:
10.100.100.1 is alive
To send an AppleTalk Echo Protocol (AEP) request message to a
specific AppleTalk node address, use the NCL Atping command.
For more information on Ping and Atping, refer to pages 4-12 and 4-13 in
this manual and to the Operator's Reference.
