Configuring The Icmp Echo Operation - HPE FlexNetwork 5510 HI Series Network Management And Monitoring Configuration Manual

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.
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 IP
address for ICMP echo
requests.
5. (Optional.) Set the payload
size for each ICMP echo
request.
6. (Optional.)
payload fill string for ICMP
echo requests.
7. (Optional.)
output interface for ICMP
echo requests.
8. (Optional.)
source IP address for ICMP
echo requests.

Remarks
N/A
By default, no NQA operations
exist.
N/A
By default, no destination IP
address is specified.
The destination ipv6 command is
available in Release 1121 and
later.
The default setting is 100 bytes.
The default payload fill string is the
hexadecimal
00010203040506070809.
By default, the output interface for
ICMP echo requests
specified. The NQA
determines the output interface
based on the routing table lookup.
This command is available in
Release 1121 and later.
By default, the requests take the
primary IP address of the output
interface as their source
address.
If you execute the
interface, source ip, and source
ipv6 commands multiple times,
the most recent configuration
takes effect.
The specified source interface
must be up.
The specified source IP address
must be the IP address of a local
interface, and the interface must
be up. Otherwise, no
packets can be sent out.
The source ipv6 command is
available in Release 1121 and
later.
