Checking Basic Connectivity; Ping; Traceroute - Extreme Networks ExtremeWare XOS Guide Manual

Accessing the Switch
For example, if you specify the domain "xyz-inc.com" as the default domain, then a command such as
will be taken as if it had been entered
ping accounting1

Checking Basic Connectivity

The switch offers the following commands for checking basic connectivity:
•

ping

•

traceroute

Ping
The command enables you to send Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo messages to a
ping
remote IP device. The
ping
The command syntax is:
ping
ping {udp} {[continuous | count <count>]} {start-size <start-size>} {end-size
<end-size}} {interval <interval>} {ttl <ttl>} {tos <tos>} {vr <vrid>} <host>
Options for the ping command are described in Table 7.

If a request fails, the switch continues to send
ping
to interrupt a request. The statistics are tabulated after the ping is interrupted.

Traceroute
The command enables you to trace the routed path between the switch and a destination
traceroute
endstation. The
traceroute
traceroute {vrid <vrid>} <host> {from <source IP address>} {ttl <number>} {port <port
number>}
30
command is available for both the user and administrator privilege level.
Description
Specifies that the ping request should use UDP instead of ICMP.
Specifies that UDP or ICMP echo messages to be sent continuously. This option can
be interrupted by pressing any key.
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the packet to be sent, or the starting size if
incremental packets are to be sent.
Specifies the end size, in bytes, of the packet to be sent, when incremental packets
are sent.
Specifies the virtual route to use for sending out the echo message. If not specified,
the virtual router assigned to the default VLAN is used.
Sets the TOS value.
Sets the TTL value.
Sets the IP to not fragment the bit.
Sets the time interval between sending out ping requests.
Specifies a IPV4 host to ping.
command syntax is:
ping accounting1.xyz-inc.com
