Utilities Commands

Ping Commands

The ping command is intended for testing the connectivity between the switch and other IP network devices. It is not intended as a traffic generator. Thus, using the endless ping option is not recommended.

ping

The Ping command pings the Ipaddress specified number of times or 0 for endless ping. The ping process starts sending one datagram per second until the number of datagrams are sent. It prints one line of output for each response that it receives. The ping command does not return any output if there is no response. Normal response time is 1 to 10 seconds.

ping <IP address> {<number>0}

Example

SYS_console>ping 194.90.136.20 4

SYS_console>194.90.136.20 Alive. echo reply: id 4643, seq 1, echo-data-len 0

194.90.136.20 Alive. echo reply: id 4643, seq 2, echo-data-len 0

194.90.136.20 Alive. echo reply: id 4643, seq 3, echo-data-len 0

194.90.136.20 Alive. echo reply: id 4643, seq 4, echo-data-len 0

SYS_console>

If a host does not respond, only statistics are printed. Failure to get an echo response from a host may be due to:

A bad physical connection

A non-existent or inactive host

Network Unreachable: no corresponding entry in the routing table

Destination Unreachable: the default gateway failed to route the datagram

Outdated ARP table information - flush the ARP table with the del-arp-entry command.

ping-stop

If you started a long ping, use this command, or CTRL-C to stop the active ping process.

Port mirroring

The port mirroring feature allows you to copy selected frames to a probe port for diagnostic and troubleshooting purposes.

Port mirroring allows you to attach a network protocol analyzer to a probe port to view the types of traffic passing through a particular switch port or ports.

This analysis can help troubleshoot network problems on a port-by-port basis.
