Parameters
-c count: Specifies the number of ICMP echo requests to send, in the range of 1 to 2147483647. The
default is 5.
-s size: Specifies the length (in bytes) of each ICMP echo request, in the range of 20 to 8100. The default
is 56.
ip-address: Specifies the IPv4 address of the destination in dotted decimal notation.
Usage guidelines
When you execute the ping command, the device sends ICMP echo requests to the destination. You can
press Ctrl+C to abort the ping operation.
Examples
# Check the connectivity to the destination 1.2.1.1.
<boot> ping 1.2.1.1
PING 1.2.1.1 (1.2.1.1): 56 data bytes
56 bytes from 1.2.1.1: seq=0 ttl=128 time=2.243 ms
56 bytes from 1.2.1.1: seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.717 ms
56 bytes from 1.2.1.1: seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.891 ms
56 bytes from 1.2.1.1: seq=3 ttl=128 time=0.745 ms
56 bytes from 1.2.1.1: seq=4 ttl=128 time=0.911 ms

description
Checking the connectivity to the device at 1.2.1.1.
Number of data bytes in each ICMP echo request.
Received an ICMP reply from the device at 1.2.1.1.
Fields of the reply:
•
bytes—Number of data bytes in the ICMP reply.
•
seq—Sequence number of the reply. You can examine the
sequence numbers of replies to determine whether packets are
missing, disordered, or duplicated.
•
ttl—TTL value in the ICMP reply.
•
time—Response time.
Statistics for packets sent and received during the ping operation.
Number of ICMP echo requests sent.
Number of ICMP echo replies received.
Percentage of echo requests that failed to be echoed back.
Minimum/average/maximum response time, in milliseconds.
