Using Operating Commands

3-7
Currently, you can load only the telnet command into memory. The exec telnet
command is useful when booting a Bay Networks router over a network using
BootP. Using
exec telnet locks the telnet command into memory, in case the
connection to the BootP server fails.
Enter the following to load a command into memory or unload a command from
memory:
exec [-load
|
-unload] <command_name>
After you load a command into memory, it remains there until you issue an
exec -unload command, or until you restart the Technician Interface.
Using the Ping Command
Use the ping command to test the reachability of a remote device running the IP,
IPX, OSI, VINES, AppleTalk, or Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking (APPN)
protocol. Although we use the term “ping” to describe the action of testing the
reachability of a remote device, our implementation of ping is different for each
protocol. The following sections describe:
• The procedure the router uses to ping a remote device running a given
protocol
• The syntax of the
ping command for each protocol
• The possible messages displayed when you issue the
ping command
Note:
The
ping
command is not case-sensitive.
