Syntax
ping ipaddress
Parameter
ipaddress Specifies the IP address of the device to ping.
Privilege Levels

Description
This command tests for a network connection between the management
module and a remote device by sending three TCP/IP ping requests. The
results of the requests are displayed on your workstation. The following
guidelines apply to this command:
ˆ The management module must have an IP configuration. For
instructions, refer to Chapter 3, “IP Configuration Commands” on page
39.
ˆ The 10/100/1000Base-T Management port on the management
module must be connected to your network. The ping requests are
transmitted from this port.
ˆ The management module must be a member of the same subnet as
the remote device or have access to the device’s subnet through
routers or other Layer 3 routing devices.
ˆ If the management module and the remote device are members of
different networks, the IP configuration on the module must include a
default gateway address specifying the IP address of the routing
interface of the first hop to reaching the device. For instructions, refer
to Chapter 3, “IP Configuration Commands” on page 39.
Example
This command sends three ping requests from the management module
to the remote device with the IP address 149.12.55.77:
ping 149.12.55.77
