Proceed to the next section, “Using the ping Command”, to verify that each interface port is functioning properly.

Using the ping Command

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. After you verify that the system has booted successfully and is operational, you can use this command to verify the status of interface ports. Refer to the documentation resources listed in the “Related Documentation” section on page vi for detailed command descriptions and examples.

The ping command sends echo request packets out to a remote device at an IP address that you specify. After sending an echo request, the command waits a specified time for the remote device to reply. Each echo reply appears as an exclamation point (!) on the console terminal; each request that is not returned before the specified timeout appears 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.
