node >ping ip-address
When using ping for fault isolation, it should first be run on the respective SmartNode interface, to verify that
the local LAN or WAN interface is up and running. Then hosts and gateways further and further away should
be "pinged". Round-trip times and packet loss statistics are computed. If duplicate packets are received, they
are not included in the packet loss calculation, although the round trip time of these packets is used in calculat-
ing the minimum/average/maximum round-trip time numbers. When five ICMP echo requests packets have
been sent and received a brief summary is displayed.
Example: Testing connections with the ping command
The following example shows how to invoke the echo protocol to the destination host at IP address
172.16.1.10 using the ping command from operator execution mode.
SN>ping 172.16.1.10
Sending 5 ICMP echo requests to 172.16.1.10, timeout is 1 seconds:

Traceroute
This procedure describes how to print the route (list of hops) packets take to network host.

Deleting an IP interface
The following example shows how to delete an IP interface named wan, use the no command as following
demonstrated in IP context configuration mode.
List the existing interfaces in the IP context:
SN(ctx-ip)[router]#interface <?>
