Prompt Description
Packet size Number of bytes in each ICMP echo
request packet. The packet size
includes both the IP and the ICMP
headers.
Burst Transmit When enabled, sends out the
Ping mode ICMP echo request packets as rapidly
as possible. The system displays a
period (.) upon receiving an ICMP
echo replay packet. Use this display
to determine how many packets are
being dropped during the burst. This
is unique to the Burst option.
Quiet mode How much packet information the
system displays after a ping. When
enabled, the system displays
information about the number of
packets that the system sent and
received, any loss of packets, and the
average time that it took a packet to
travel to and from the host. When
disabled, the system displays
more detailed status information
about each ICMP echo request
packet.
Time between Number of seconds that the system
sending each waits before it sends out successive
packet (wait) ICMP echo request packets. Set this
option to a high value if network
traffic is heavy and you do not want
to add to the network traffic with
pings in fast succession.
ICMP Forces the source address of the
sourceAddress ICMP packets to be something other
than the IP address of the interface
from which the packet originated.
You can use this option if you have
more than one IP interface defined.
Interface index Index number of the ICMP source IP
address that you want to use.
