Configuring the ICMP echo operation

The ICMP echo operation measures the reachability of a destination device. It has the same function as
the ping command, but provides more output information. In addition, if multiple paths exist between the
source and destination devices, you can specify the next hop for the ICMP echo operation.
The ICMP echo operation is not supported in IPv6 networks. To test the reachability of an IPv6 address,
use the ping ipv6 command. For more information about the command, see Network Management and
Monitoring Command Reference.
To configure the ICMP echo operation:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create an NQA operation
and enter NQA operation
view.
3. Specify the ICMP echo type
and enter its view.
4. Specify the destination
address of ICMP echo
requests.
5. (Optional.) Specify the
payload size in each ICMP
echo request.
6. (Optional.) Specify the string
to be filled in the payload of
each ICMP echo request.
7. (Optional.) Specify the
output interface for ICMP
echo requests.
