Pinging an IP Address

Use the clause with the
source
ICMP ECHO request:
ping ip-address [from slot.processor] source source-address [count
number]
where
ip-address is the destination for the ping,
from slot.processor (optional, 1-6.1-6) chooses a source processor. If you
choose the processor and the source-address, they may conflict: the ping
may not return to the processor that sent it. If you omit this, the CLI chooses
the correct processor. In general, this should be omitted.
source-address is the source-IP address to send in the ICMP ECHO.
count number (optional, 1-10,000) limits the number of pings, as explained
above.
For example, this command sends a ping with a source IP of 10.50.20.110:
bstnA6k> ping 10.53.2.10 source 10.50.20.110 count 2
PING 10.53.2.10 (10.50.20.110) 0 data bytes

8 bytes from 10.53.2.10: icmp_seq=2 ttl=0 time=100 ms from 3.5

Pinging the OOB Management Network

As implied above, you can ping the out-of-band (OOB) management network by
using the OOB Mgmt address as the source IP. This ping starts at the SCM processor
and goes through the management gateway. For example, the following command
sequence finds the OOB management IP and gateway and then pings the management
gateway. These pings go over the management network, not the client/server network:
