72-8
Success rate is 40 percent (2/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
In the example above, the switch is made to ping the device at 10.1.128.160. The command did not
receive ICMP reply packets for the first three ICMP echo requests within default 2 seconds timeout. The
ping failed for the first three tries. However, the last two ping succeeded. So the success rate is 40%. It is
denoted on the switch “.” for ping failure which means unreachable link, while “!” for ping success, which
means reachable link.
Example 2:
Use ping command with source address configuration, and leave other fields to default.
Switch#ping src 10.1.128.161 10.1.128.160
Type ^c to abort.
Sending 5 56-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.128.160, using source address 10.1.128.161, timeout is
2 seconds.
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0/0/0 ms
In the example above, 10.1.128.161 is configured as the source address of the ICMP echo requests,
while the destination device is configured to be at 10.1.128.160. The command receives all the ICMP
reply packets for all of the five ICMP echo requests. The success rate is 100%. It is denoted on the switch
“.” for ping failure which means unreachable link, while “!” for ping success, which means reachable link.
Example 3:
Ping with parameters entered interactively.
