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 How rapidly to send out ICMP echo
Ping mode request packets. When enabled,
sends out the 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 to
display 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 choose not
to add to the network traffic with
pings in fast succession.

sourceAddress of the 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.
