Fortress ES-Series CLI Guide: System Options, Maintenance and Licensing

The FastPath Mesh license also requires the Mesh Point to be
rebooted before you can enable the feature. After it has been
licensed, Suite B can be immediately enabled.
You must be logged on to an
administrator -level account to
change configuration settings (refer to Section 2.2).
5.7 Pinging a Device
You can ping a device on the clear side of the Fortress Mesh
Point, i.e, devices on the Mesh Point’s LAN, or any other
device, using its IPv4 address, its IPv6 global or local address,
or, if the network uses DNS, by its hostname. If no security
association exists for devices in an encrypted zone, the ping
will fail.
> ping <IPv4addr> | <IPv6addr> | <hostname>
The Mesh Point pings three times and then displays the ping
statistics.
> ping 123.45.6.78
PING 123.45.6.78 (123.45.6.78) from 123.45.6.89 : 56(84) bytes of data.
NOTE: Incoming
ICMP (Internet
Control Message Proto-
col) packets require
administrative access. If
the administrative IP
address ACL (disabled
by default) is enabled, it
must include the rele-
vant IP addresses. See
Section 2.2.5 for more
detail. Traffic is affected
by the per-interface
packet filters. If config-
ured, per-interface
packet filters must
include filters to permit
ICMP traffic to and
from the FMP. See Sec-
tion 4.6.3 for more
detail.

You must be logged on to an administrator -level or a
maintenance-level account to execute ping (refer to Section
2.2).
5.8 Tracing a Packet Route
You can run traceroute for a device by its IPv4 address or IPv6
global address or, if the network uses DNS, by its hostname:
> traceroute <IPv4addr> | <IPv6addr> | <hostname>
The Mesh Point traces the route and then displays the results.
You must be logged on to an
administrator -level or a
maintenance-level account to execute traceroute (refer to
Section 2.2).
5.9 Tracing the FastPath Mesh Path
On a Mesh Point in a FastPath Mesh network, you can run
meshpath for a device by its MAC address, IPv4 address, IPv6
address or, if the network uses DNS, by its node name:
# meshpath -mac <MacAddress> |-ip <IpAddress> |-name <NodeName>
Please be patient... this command may take some time to complete.
