The network address of the remote host. The value can be an IPv4 address, IPv6 address, or FQDN.

cannot be interrupted. The default is 4 packets.

query peer-connection
Description
Queries a storage system to potentially use in a peer connection and shows information about the storage
system via the in-band query. The system uses this information to determine how to set up the peer
connection.
You can use this command to view information about systems you might use in a peer connection before
creating the peer connection, or to view information about systems currently in a peer connection before
modifying the peer connection.
For example, to create a peer connection you must specify a port address on the remote system. You can
specify any port address that this command shows as having Reachable Local Links values.
