advanced IP trouble shooting.

ifconfig [interface]
where the optional [interface] is one of the network interfaces in the system. If no
parameter is supplied, all interfaces are printed.
Example:
AVITEC AB> ifconfig eth0

13.13 PING
13.13.1 Overview
Tool to verify that communications path to remote peer is operational.
13.13.2 Usage
This command is used to ping (send an ICMP packet) to other addresses, and can
be used during connection troubleshooting. For example, successfully pinging the
configured IP address of the Axell Element Manager is a good way of knowing that
communication between controller and AEM is set up correctly, and that the AEM
hardware is up and running.
Format:
ping [-c Count] <destination>
where <destination> is either the IP address or the host name to ping.
The optional parameter -c can be used to provide number of pings.
Note! If parameter -c is not provided, ping will proceed until Ctrl-C is pressed.
Example:
AVITEC AB> ping -c 5 192.168.1.42
Pinging 192.168.1.42 5 times. Press <Ctrl-C> to abort.
