The Ping Command

Command name: /ping

Property Description

(IP address | MAC address) - IP or MAC address for destination host

size (integer: 28..65535; default: 64) - size of the IP packet (in bytes, including the IP and ICMP

headers)

do-not-fragment - if added, packets will not be fragmented

interval (time: 10ms..5s; default: 1s) - delay between messages

count (integer; default: 0) - how many times ICMP packets will be sent

• 0 - Ping continues till [Ctrl]+[C] is pressed

ttl (integer: 1..255; default: 255) - Time To Live (TTL) value of the ICMP packet

src-address (IP address) - change the source address of the packet

Notes

If DNS service is configured, it is possible to ping by DNS address. To do it from Winbox, you

should resolve DNS address first, pressing right mouse button over it address and choosing Lookup

Address.

Packet size may not be greater than the interface's mtu. If 'pinging' by MAC address, minimal

packet size iz 50.

Only neighbour Wandy RouterOS routers with MAC-ping feature enabled can be 'pinged' by

MAC address.
