Troubleshooting Guide

Procedure
Ping an IP network connection:
ping WORD<0–256> [-d] [-I <1–60>] [-s] [-t <1–120>] [count <1–9999>]
[datasize <28-9216|28-51200>] [interface WORD<1-256>|gigabitEthernet|
tunnel|vlan] [scopeid <1–9999>] [source WORD<1-256>] [vrf WORD<1–16>]
Variable definitions
Use the data in the following table to use the ping command.
Variable Value
count <1–9999> Specifies the number of times to ping (1–9999).
-d Configures the ping debug mode. This variable
detects local software failures (ping related threads
creation or write to sending socket) and receiving
issues (icmp packet too short or wrong icmp packet
type).
datasize <28-9216|28-51200> Specifies the size of ping data sent in bytes.
The datasize for IPv4 addresses is 28-9216.
The datasize for IPv6 addresses is 28-51200.
The default is 0.
-I <1–60> Specifies the interval between transmissions in
seconds (1–60).
interface WORD<1-256>|gigabitEthernet|tunnel|vlan Specifies the IP address of the outgoing interface.
Additional ping interface parameters:
• gigabitEthernet: {slot/port} gigabitethernet port
• tunnel: tunnel ID as a value from 1 to 2147277248
• vlan: VLAN ID as a value from 2 to 4059
-s Configures the continuous ping at the interval rate
defined by the [-I] parameter.
scopeid <1–9999> Specifies the circuit ID for IPv6.
source WORD<1-256> Specifies the source IP address for the ping
command.
-t <1–120> Specifies the no-answer timeout value in seconds
(1–120).
WORD<0–256> Specifies the host name or IPv4 (a.b.c.d) or IPv6
(x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x) address (string length 0–256).
vrf WORD<1–16> Specifies the virtual router and forwarder (VRF)
name from 1–16 characters.
