ETECTING
Use the ping command to detect whether a network device is online. When you issue a Ping
command, an IP packet is sent to the requested remote device. If the target device receives the
packet, it sends a reply back to the Avidia system, indicating that the target is online.
From the ::admin=> prompt, type the ping command in the following format then press
ping (<address>|abort|results) [<count>] [-silent]
Parameters
(<address>|abort|results)
Defines the type of command.
<address>
The IP address of the network device, in xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx format.
abort
Aborts an existing ping command.
results
Displays the results of the most recent ping command.
<count>
The number of ping packets to be sent to the remote address.
[-silent]
Specifies that ping status does not display on the screen.
