The ping command allows you to verify that an interface port is functioning properly and to check the path between a specific port and connected devices at various locations on the network. This section provides brief descriptions of the ping command. After you verify that the system and VIP2 have booted successfully and are operational, you can use this command to verify the status of interface ports.

The ping command sends an echo request out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending a series of signals, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to echo the signals. Each returned signal is displayed as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each signal that is not returned before the specified time-out is displayed as a period (.). A series of exclamation points (!!!!!) indicates a good connection; a series of periods (.....) or the messages [timed out] or [failed]

indicate that the connection failed.

Following is an example of a successful ping command to a remote server with the address 1.1.1.10:

Router# ping 1.1.1.10 <Return> Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echoes to 1.1.1.10, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/15/64 ms Router#

If the connection fails, verify that you have the correct IP address for the server and that the server is active (powered on), and repeat the ping command.

For complete descriptions of interface subcommands and the configuration options available for VIP2-related interfaces, and which support VIP2 functionality, refer to the publications listed in the section “If You Need More Information” on page 2.
