MISCELLANEOUS COMMANDS

17.5Ping

17.5.1 Ping through the Command Line Interface

The ping command can be used to test connectivity to other devices as well as checking to see if the IP address is setup correctly. The command syntax is:

ping <ipaddress> [count=<1-999>] [timeout=<1-256>]

For example:

ML1200# ping 3.94.248.61

3.94.248.61 is alive, count 1, time = 40ms

ML1200# ping 3.94.248.61 count=3

3.94.248.61 is alive, count 1, time = 20ms 3.94.248.61 is alive, count 2, time = 20ms 3.94.248.61 is alive, count 3, time = 40ms

ML1200#

Many devices do not respond to ping or block ping commands. Make sure that the target device responds or the network allows the ping packets to propagate.

17.5.2 Ping through EnerVista Secure Web Management software

The ping command can be used from EnerVista Secure Web Management software to test connectivity to other devices as well as checking to see if the IP address is correct. Select the Administration > Ping menu item to use ping.

As mentioned earlier, many devices do not respond to ping commands. Make sure that the target device responds or the network allows ping packets to propagate.
