17.5 Ping
17.5.1 Ping through the Command Line Interface
The ping command can be used to test connectivity to other devices as well as checking
to see if the IP address is setup correctly. The command syntax is:
ping <ipaddress> [count=<1-999>]
[timeout=<1-256>]
For example:
ML1200# ping 3.94.248.61
3.94.248.61 is alive, count 1, time = 40ms
ML1200# ping 3.94.248.61 count=3
3.94.248.61 is alive, count 1, time = 20ms
3.94.248.61 is alive, count 2, time = 20ms
3.94.248.61 is alive, count 3, time = 40ms
