312 CHAPTER 2: CUDA 12000 BASE SYSTEM COMMANDS
ping
Use this command to send Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to a
node on your cable network to see if it is reachable and online.
Mode
Any.
Syntax
ping [-l <size>] [-n <count>] [-w <timeout>]
[-s <src-ip-address>] <dest-ip-address>
Arguments
-l <size> Size of the ping to send. Valid range: 64 – 64000 bytes. If you do
not specify a size, the size of the ping defaults to 64 bytes.
-n <count> Number of pings to send. Valid range: 0 – 1000. A value of 0
means forever. If you do not specify the number of pings, then 5
pings are sent by default.
-w <timeout> Number of seconds to wait for each reply. Valid range: 1 – 30. If
you do not specify a timeout, then the ping command uses the
default timeout (2 seconds).
-s <src-ip-address> Specifies the IP address (which you must supply as an IP number,
not a hostname) on your Cuda 12000 that will be the source
address in outgoing echo request packets. By default, the source
address is the IP address of the interface on which the Cuda
12000 sends the echo request packet. If your Cuda 12000 has
more than one IP address, this argument enables you to override
the default source address.
<dest-ip-address> IP address of destination host that you want to ping.
