HP FlexFabric 12500 Series Network Management And Monitoring Command Reference page 11

-a source-ip: Specifies an IP address of the device as the source IP address of ICMP echo requests. If this
option is not specified, the source IP address of ICMP echo requests is the primary IP address of the
outbound interface.
-c count: Specifies the number of ICMP echo requests that are sent to the destination. The value range is
1 to 4294967295, and the default is 5.
-f: Sets the DF bit in the IP header.
-h ttl: Specifies the TTL value of ICMP echo requests. The value range is 1 to 255, and the default is 255.
-i interface-type interface-number: Specifies the source interface of ICMP echo requests. If this option is
not provided, the system uses the primary IP address of the matching route's egress interface as the
source interface of ICMP echo requests.
-m interval: Specifies the interval (in milliseconds) to send ICMP echo requests. The value range is 1 to
65535, and the default is 200.
-n: Disables domain name resolution for the host argument. If the host argument represents the host name
for the destination, and this keyword is not specified, the device translates host into an address.
-p pad: Specifies the value of the pad field in an ICMP echo request, in hexadecimal format, 1 to 8 bits.
The pad argument is in the range of 0 to ffffffff. If the specified value is less than 8 bits, 0s are added in
front of the value to extend it to 8 bits. For example, if pad is configured as 0x2f, then the packets are
padded with 0x0000002f to make the total length of the packet meet the requirements of the device. By
default, the padded value starts from 0x01 up to 0xff, where another round starts again if necessary, like
0x010203...feff01....
-q: Displays only statistics. If this keyword is not specified, the system displays all information.
-r: Records routing information. If this keyword is not specified, routes are not recorded.
-s packet-size: Specifies the length (in bytes) of ICMP echo requests (excluding the IP packet header and
the ICMP packet header). The value range is 20 to 8100, and the default is 56.
-t timeout: Specifies the timeout time (in milliseconds) of an ICMP echo reply. The value range is 0 to
65535, and the default is 2000. If the source does not receive an ICMP echo reply within the timeout,
it considers the ICMP echo reply timed out.
-tos tos: Specifies the ToS value of ICMP echo requests. The value range is 0 to 255, and the default is
0.
-v: Displays non-ICMP echo reply packets. If this keyword is not specified, the system does not display
non-ICMP echo reply packets.
-vpn-instance vpn-instance-name: Specifies the MPLS L3VPN instance to which the destination belongs,
where the vpn-instance-name argument is a case-sensitive string of 1 to 31 characters. If the destination
is on the public network, do not specify this option.
host: Specifies the IP address or host name of the destination. The host name is a case-insensitive string
of 1 to 253 characters. It can contain letters, digits, and special characters such as hyphen (-), underscore
(_), and dot (.).
Usage guidelines
To use the name of the destination host to perform the ping operation, you must first configure the DNS
on the device. Otherwise, the ping operation will fail.
To abort the ping operation during the execution of the command, press Ctrl+C.
