Parameters
ip: Distinguishes between a destination host name and the ping command keywords if the name of the
destination host is i, ip, ipv, ipv6, l, ls, or lsp. For example, you must use the command in the form of ping
ip ip instead of ping ip if the destination host name is ip.
-a source-ip: Specifies the source IP address of an ICMP echo request (ECHO-REQUEST). It must be an
IP address configured on the device. If this option is not specified, the source IP address of an ICMP echo
request is the primary IP address of the outbound interface of the request.
-c count: Specifies the number of times that an ICMP echo request is sent, which is in the range of 1 to
4294967295 and defaults to 5.
-f: Discards packets larger than the MTU of a given interface, which means the ICMP echo request is not
allowed to be fragmented.
-h ttl: Specifies the TTL value for an ICMP echo request, which is in the range of 1 to 255 and defaults to
255.
-i interface-type interface-number: Specifies the ICMP echo request sending interface by its type and
number. If this option is not specified, the ICMP echo request sending interface is determined by
searching the routing table or forwarding table according to the destination IP address.
-m interval: Specifies the interval (in milliseconds) to send an ICMP echo request, which is in the range
of 1 to 65535 and defaults to 200.
If a response from the destination is received within the timeout time, the interval to send the next
•
echo request equals the actual response period plus the value of interval.
If no response from the destination is received within the timeout time, the interval to send the next
•
echo request equals the timeout value plus the value of interval.
-n: Disables domain name resolution for the host argument. When this keyword is not specified, if the
host argument represents the host name of the destination, the device translates host into an address.
