host IP address, MAC address, hostname, alias, or user to
ping.
count
num-packets Number of ping packets to send. You can specify from
0 through 2,147,483,647. If you enter 0, UNIVERGE
WL Control System pings continuously until you
interrupt the command.
dnf Enables the Do Not Fragment bit in the ping packet to
prevent fragmenting the packet.
flood Sends new ping packets as quickly as replies are
received, or 100 times per second, whichever is
greater.
Note: Use the flood option sparingly. This option
creates a lot of traffic and can affect other traffic on
the network.
interval
time Time interval between ping packets, in milliseconds.
You can specify from 100 through 10,000.
size size Packet size, in bytes. You can specify from 56 through
65,507.
Note: Because the UNIVERGE WL Controller adds
header information, the ICMP packet size is 8 bytes
larger than the size you specify.
