ping
Tests IP connectivity between a wireless LAN switch and another device.
MSS sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packet to
the specified WX switch and listens for a reply packet.
Syntax —
ping host [count num-packets ] [dnf] [flood]
[interval time] [size size] [source-ip ip-addr | vlan-name]
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, MSS pings
continuously until you interrupt the command.
dnf
— Enables the Do Not Fragment bit in the ping packet to prevent
the packet from being fragmented.
flood
— Sends new ping packets as quickly as replies are received, or
100 times per second, whichever is greater.
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.
