PING
Syntax
ping ipaddress
Parameter
ipaddress Specifies the IP address of an end node to be pinged.
Description
This command instructs the stack to ping an end node. You can use this
command to determine whether an active link exists between the stack
and another network device. Follow these guidelines when using this
command:
ˆ The stack must have a routing interface. It uses the IP address of the
interface as its source address when pinging a device. The command
for adding a routing interface is “ADD IP INTERFACE” on page 280.
ˆ The stack can only ping devices that are accessible from the local
subnet of the routing interface.
Example
The following command pings an end node with the IP address of
149.245.22.22
ping 149.245.22.22
The results of the ping are displayed on the screen.
