ONNECTIVITY
The Summit offers the following two commands for checking basic connectivity:
• ping
• traceroute
• mtrace
P ING
The ping command enables you to send Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo
messages to a remote IP device. The ping command is available for both the user and
administrator privilege level.
The ping command syntax is
ping {continuous} {size }
Options for the ping command are described in Table 3-9 .
If a ping request fails, the switch continues to send ping messages until interrupted.
Press any key to interrupt a ping request.
T RACEROUTE
The traceroute command enables you to trace the routed path between the switch and
a destination endstation. The traceroute command syntax is
traceroute
where ip_address is the IP address of the destination endstation.
