PING
Syntax
ping ipaddress
Parameter
ipaddress Specifies the IP address of an end node to be pinged.
Description
This command instructs the switch to ping an end node. You can use this
command to determine whether an active link exists between the switch
and another network device.
Note
The local subnet from where the switch is pinging the end node must
have a routing interface. The switch uses the IP address of the
interface as its source address when pinging the device. For
background information, refer to “Routing Interfaces and
Management Features” on page 560. For instructions on how to add
a routing interface to the switch, refer to “ADD IP INTERFACE” on
page 573.
Example
The following command pings an end node with the IP address of
149.245.22.22
ping 149.245.22.22
The results of the ping are displayed on the screen.
