Use the Ping Pseudowire command to ping the
peer router with a tunnel ID from a single or
multisegment pseudowire. This command can
be used to verify connectivity between any set
of PE routers in the pseudowire path. For a
multisegment pseudowire this command can be
used to verify that all the segments of the
multisegment pseudowire are operating. You
can use this command to verify connectivity at
the following pseudowire points:
• From one end of the pseudowire to the
other
• From one of the pseudowires to a specific
segment
• The segment between two adjacent PE
routers
You can choose to ping the peer router by
default or provide the IP of the required
destination router to ping.
