SHELL Commands

Displays the IP routes stored in your Cayman Gateway.

Performs a domain name system lookup for a specified host.

The hostname argument is the name of the host for which you want DNS
information; for example, nslookup klaatu.

The ip_address argument is the IP address, in dotted decimal notation, of
the device for which you want DNS information.

Causes the Cayman Gateway to issue a series of ICMP Echo requests for the
device with the specified name or IP address.

The hostname argument is the name of the device you want to ping; for
example, ping ftp.cayman.com.

The ip_address argument is the IP address, in dotted decimal notation, of
the device you want to locate. If a host using the specified name or IP address
is active, it returns one or more ICMP Echo replies, confirming that it is acces-
sible from your network.

The -s

size

argument lets you specify the size of the ICMP packet.

The

-c count

argument lets you specify the number of ICMP packets gener-

ated for the ping request.

You can use the ping command to determine whether a hostname or IP address
is already in use on your network. You cannot use the ping command to ping the
Cayman Gateway’s own IP address.

Exits the Cayman Gateway command line interface.

Clears the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache on your unit.

Resets the ATM statistics to zero.
