Ping
The Ping program is an IP-based application used to test reachability to a specific
IP address by sending an ICMP echo request and waiting for a reply. From the
Command Line Interface, Ping can test connectivity upstream or downstream.
ping dest-ip [ mgt | -x source-ip ] [ -l bytes ] [ -w time ] [ -i { eth1 | dsl1 } ]
Pings the specified destination IP address. Once Ping starts, the input prompt will not
redisplay until either the Ping finishes or the Ping command is aborted with Ctrl-c.
Minimum access level: Administrator
dest-ip – The destination IP address of the device to ping.
mgt – Specifies that the IP address is in the management domain (through the MCC).
Do not use with –x source-ip selection.
source-ip – The source IP address to be used. The default source address is from the
service domain in which the test is being done. The IP address is validated to verify that
it is an interface IP address.
bytes – Bytes of data (l = length). Default = 64 bytes. Range = 0–15,000.
time – Number of seconds to wait before ending ping attempt. Default = 10 seconds.
Range = 0–60.
interface – The target interface for the command (eth1|dsl1). Do not use with –x
source-ip selection.
Example: ping 135.300.41.8 –l 144 –w 30 -i eth1
Ping Test Results
Ping test results display in the following formats.
H
Ping successful:
Ping reply [ x.x.x.x ] : bytes of data= nn
H Ping timeout:
Ping reply [ x.x.x.x ] : REQUEST TIMED OUT
H
ICMP echo response of an unreachable destination:
Ping reply [ x.x.x.x ] : DESTINATION UNREACHABLE
