•
Probe Count – Number of packets to send. (Range: 1-16)
•
Packet Size – Number of bytes in a packet. (Range: 32-512 bytes)
The actual packet size will be eight bytes larger than the size specified because the switch
adds header information.
Command Usage
•
Use the ping command to see if another site on the network can be reached.
•
The following are some results of the ping command:
•
Normal response - The normal response occurs in one to ten seconds, depending on
network traffic.
•
Destination does not respond - If the host does not respond, a “timeout” appears in ten
seconds.
•
Destination unreachable - The gateway for this destination indicates that the destination is
unreachable.
•
Network or host unreachable - The gateway found no corresponding entry in the route
table.
•
When pinging a host name, be sure the DNS server has been defined (
), and host
name-to-address translation enabled (
). If necessary, local devices can also be
specified in the DNS static host table (see
).
Interface
