Using show Commands to Display Line Card Information
Table 17-3 describes the show commands you can use to display line card information.
Note Using the show commands for interface information is viable only if the line cards have already been
configured.
Using the ping Command to Verify Network Connectivity
The ping command allows you to verify that a line card is functioning properly and to check the path
between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on the network. After you verify that
the system has booted successfully and is operational, you can use this command to verify the status of
the line card ports. Refer to the publications listed in the “Related Documentation” section on page -xix
for detailed command descriptions and examples.
Note The interfaces must be configured correctly or the ping command will not work.
The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After
sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals.
Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is
not returned before the specified timeout is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points
(!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]
indicate that the connection failed.
Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the IP address 10.1.1.60:
Router# ping 10.1.1.60 <Return>
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 10.1.1.60, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms
Router#
If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server is
active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.
