Test Node Accessibility.
To verify that other nodes can be accessed from the router module, use the NCL Ping command.
Ping command can be used on a router with IP routing enabled to test whether particular routers and end nodes can be reached. Use the specific IP address of the target. For example, to determine whether a WAN port having the IP address of 10.100.100.1 on a remote router can be reached from the router module, you would execute Ping as follows from the NCL prompt:
ping 10.100.100.1
When a target is “pinged”, the router module waits for a response. In the above example, if a response was received within the specified time, the console would display this message:
10.100.100.1 is alive
To send an AppleTalk Echo Protocol (AEP) request message to a specific AppleTalk node address, use the NCL Atping command.
