NPING - Network Ping

3-164

If the destination does not respond within 10 seconds, the

command continues on with the next transmission. Between each

successful transmit/receive packet there is a one second delay; this

is done so as not to inundate the network.

If the number of packets is not specified on the command line, the

command will indefinitely transmit/receive packets. You must

press the BREAK key to abort the session.

The clock must be running in order for this command to work

properly. Use TIME ;L to see if the clock is running. Use the SET

command to start and initialize the clock.

Examples

Example 1: Transmit/receive $10 (16) ping packets. Once the ping

session is complete, the command displays the statistics of the

session.
