ping Use this command to verify station-to-station connectivity across the net-
work. The format is as follows:
ping <host name>|<IP address> [tries (1-32)> [msec delay]]
[-m|-mgmt|-d|-data]
Where IP address is the hostname or IP address of the device, tries (optional)
is the number of attempts (1-32), msec delay (optional) is the number of mil-
liseconds between attempts. By default, the -d or -data option for net-
work ports is in effect. If the management port is used, specify the -m or
-mgmt option. The DNS parameters must be configured if specifying host-
names (see “Domain Name System Configuration” on page 292).
traceroute Use this command to identify the route used for station-to-station connectiv-
ity across the network. The format is as follows:
traceroute <host name>| <IP address> [<max-hops (1-32)>
[msec delay]] [-m|-mgmt|-d|-data]
Where IP address is the hostname or IP address of the target station, max-
hops (optional) is the maximum distance to trace (1-16 devices), and delay
(optional) is the number of milliseconds for wait for the response. By default,
the -d or -data option for network ports is in effect. If the management
port is used, specify the -m or -mgmt option. As with ping, the DNS
parameters must be configured if specifying hostnames.

telnet <hostname>|<IP address> [port]
[-m|-mgmt|-d|-data]
Where IP address is the hostname or IP address of the device. By default, the
-d or -data option for network ports is in effect. If the management port is
used, specify the -m or -mgmt option.
