The default data length of the echo request packet is 16 bytes. You can set the
data length up to 64 bytes.

Once you enter the ping-1139 command, echo requests are sent continually until
you press any key. At that time, statistics are displayed showing the number of
requests transmitted and the number of replies received.

Syntax:

ping-1139

Example:

ping-1139

Long-term/Short-term [LONG-TERM]?

Destination NSAP: []? AA0003000A14

Data Length [16]?

PINGing AA0003000A14

---- PING Statistics ----

8 requests transmitted, 8 replies received

Route

Use the route command to display the next hop a packet would take to a specified
destination (destnsap).

Syntax:

route

dest-nsap

Example:

route 490002aa0004000e08

Destination System: 0000-9310-04C9

Destination MAC Address: AA00-0400-1408

Interface: 0

Destination System

Indicates the system ID of the next hop IS. For a directly connected ES,
this will be blank.

Destination MAC Address

Indicates the MAC address of the next hop IS or the directly-connected ES.

Interface

Indicates the interface that a packet would go out over to reach the next
hop IS or the directly-connected ES.

Send (Echo Packet)

Use the send echo packet command to encode an echo request message in the
CLNP packet to the specified destination nsap. During this command, the system
does not interact with the OSI monitoring. To verify that the echo request was sent
and that an echo reply was received, check the ELS (Event Logging System).

Note: You cannot send an echo packet to yourself. If you try, you will receive an

CLNP.004 ELS message.

Syntax:
