PIng
Runs a test of the path between the bridge and another device that responds to IP packets. The
bridge sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request packets to another node
with the specified IP address and waits for Echo Response packets in return.
When you run the Ping command, you will be prompted for:
the IP address of the destination device (in the format X.X.X.X)
the number of packets to send
the timeout value (the number of seconds to wait for a response)
If any errors are reported during this test, there may be a fault on the path used during the test
or on the destination device. For more information about testing network links, see chapter 5,
"Troubleshooting".
REset
Runs the bridge self-test, and resets and initializes the bridge. See "Resetting the Bridge" later
in this chapter for a more detailed description of the effect of this command.
SPeed
Prompts you for a console port baud rate. Normally console port speed is automatically sensed.
Use this command to set the baud rate manually to 300, 1200, 2400, or 9600.
STatus
Starts Status Mode for checking the bridge's status, gathering bridge activity statistics, and for
reading the bridge configuration. (See "Status Mode Commands" later in this chapter.)
