ping

Purpose Used to test the connectivity between network devices.

Syntax ping <ipaddr> {times <value 1-255>} {timeout <sec 1-99>}

Description The ping command sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo messages to a remote IP address.

The remote IP address will then “echo” or return the message.This is used to confirm connectivity between

the Switch and the remote device.

Parameters <ipaddr> – Specifies the IP address of the host.

times <value 1-255> – The number of individual ICMP echo messages to be sent.The maximum value is 255.The

default is 0.

timeout <sec 1-99> – Defines the time-out period while waiting for a response from the remote device.A value

of 1 to 99 seconds can be specified.The default is 1 second.

Pinging an IP address without the times parameter will ping the target device an infinite amount of times.

Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.

Example usage:

To ping the IP address 10.48.74.121 four times:

AT-9724TS:4# ping 10.48.74.121 times 4
