Tries to reach or “ping” a host with one or more of the advanced ping options.

Valid Minimum Abbreviation

m ip advancedP

Important Considerations

When you specify a host name, the host name and its associated IP address must be configured on a network name server. Also, you must add the IP address on the name server to the list of name server addresses that are associated with the network domain name. See the ip dns commands in Chapter 16 for more information.

The Burst option, when enabled, overrides the value that is set in the Quiet or Wait option.

The Burst option floods the network with Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packets and can cause network congestion. Do not use the Burst option during periods of heavy network traffic. Use this option only as a diagnostic tool in a network that has many routers to determine if one of the routers is not forwarding packets. For example, you can set a high count value (1000 packets), and then observe the run lights on the units: the run lights blink rapidly on routers that are forwarding packets successfully, but remain unlit, or blink slowly, on routers that are not forwarding packets successfully.

To interrupt the command, press Enter.
