ping

Tests IP connectivity between a wireless LAN switch and another device.

 

MSS sends an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packet to

 

the specified WX switch and listens for a reply packet.

 

Syntax ping host [count num-packets] [dnf] [flood]

 

[interval time] [size size] [source-ipip-addr vlan-name]

 

„ host — IP address, MAC address, hostname, alias, or user to ping.

 

„ count num-packets— Number of ping packets to send. You can

 

specify from 0 through 2,147,483,647. If you enter 0, MSS pings

 

continuously until you interrupt the command.

 

„ dnf — Enables the Do Not Fragment bit in the ping packet to prevent

 

the packet from being fragmented.

 

„ flood — Sends new ping packets as quickly as replies are received, or

 

100 times per second, whichever is greater.

 

Use the flood option sparingly. This option creates a lot of traffic and can

 

affect other traffic on the network.

 

„ interval time — Time interval between ping packets, in

 

milliseconds. You can specify from 100 through 10,000.

 

„ size size — Packet size, in bytes. You can specify from 56 through

 

65,507.

 

Because the WX switch adds header information, the ICMP packet size is

 

8 bytes larger than the size you specify.

 

„ source-ipip-addr— IP address, in dotted decimal notation, to use

 

as the source IP address in the ping packets.

 

„ source-ipvlan-name— VLAN name to use as the ping source. MSS

 

uses the IP address configured on the VLAN as the source IP address in

 

the ping packets.

Defaults

„count — 5.

„dnf — Disabled.

„interval — 100 (one tenth of a second)
