The console displays one of the following messages when you issue a ping
command. If you enter a value in the
<repeat_count> argument, the system
displays one of the following messages for the default ping, plus one for each
additional ping:
•An
alive message: This message appears if the system receives an ICMP
echo response from the target device within the <timeout> allowed. The
message also indicates the size of the test packet. A sample message follows:
IPV6 ping (If 2): [3FFE:1300:0003:0011:0000:0001:A2A5:2159] is alive
(size = 16 bytes)
•A does not respond message: This message appears if the system does not
receive an ICMP echo response from the target device within the <timeout>
allowed. A sample message follows:
IPV6 ping (If 2): [3FFE:1300:0003:0011:0000:0001:A2A5:2159] does not
respond
•A target address is unreachable message: The local Bay Networks router
previously issued an
ICMP host unreachable from y.y.y.y message. Within
40 seconds, the local Bay Networks router received a subsequent ICMP echo
request addressed to the same target device. The ARP timed out or the address
could not be resolved. A sample message follows:
IPV6 ping: [3FFE:1300:0003:0011:0000:0001:A2A5:2159] is Unreachable
